The rules shall address but are not limited to the areas of operator safety, recordkeeping and tracking procedures, best available appropriate technologies, emergency response and remedial action procedures, waste minimization procedures, and long-term liability. The department shall not grant permits for the construction or operation of a commercial infectious waste treatment or disposal facility until the commission has adopted the required rules.
