Information and reports. A. In accordance with standards established by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Department may require corrective action beyond a hazardous waste facility boundary as a condition of the issuance of a permit pursuant to the Oklahoma Hazardous Waste Management Act, where necessary to protect human health and the environment, unless the owner or operator of the facility demonstrates that despite the owner's or operator's best efforts such owner or operator is unable to obtain the necessary permission to undertake such action. The Department may also require, as a condition of a permit issued pursuant to the Oklahoma Hazardous Waste Management Act, corrective action for all releases of hazardous waste from any solid waste management unit at a facility seeking a permit, regardless of the time the waste was placed in such unit. If such corrective action cannot be completed prior to issuance of the permit, such permit shall contain schedules of compliance for the corrective action required and assurances of financial responsibility for completing such corrective action. B. The Department shall review each permit for a hazardous waste land disposal facility five (5) years after the date of such issuance or reissuance and shall modify the permit as necessary to assure that the facility continues to comply with the currently applicable standards and permit requirements for hazardous waste facilities. Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the Department from reviewing and modifying a permit at any time during its term. The Department, in reviewing any application for a permit renewal, shall consider improvements in the state of control and measurement technology and changes in applicable regulations. Each issued or reissued permit shall contain such terms and conditions as the Department determines necessary to protect human health and the environment. C. The Department is authorized to require each owner or operator applying for a permit for a hazardous waste landfill or surface impoundment to submit with the permit application information reasonably ascertainable by the owner or operator concerning the potential exposure to the public of hazardous wastes as a result of releases from a hazardous waste unit. The Department shall be authorized to make exposure and health assessment information available to the public and to other state and federal agencies.
