Iowa Code Title XI. Natural Resources [Chs. 455-485] § 455F.8A. Household hazardous material regional collection centers and satellite facilities

1. a. The department shall establish a competitive grant program to assist in the development of permanent household hazardous material regional collection centers and satellite facilities.

b. The grant program shall provide for the establishment of permanent collection facilities so that both rural and urban populations are served.

c. The department shall develop criteria to evaluate proposals for the establishment of permanent collection facilities. The criteria shall give priority to proposals for permanent collection facilities which provide the most efficient services and which provide local, public, and private contributions for establishment of the permanent collection facilities. The criteria shall also include a requirement that the recipient of a grant design and construct a facility sufficient for the collection, sorting, and packaging of materials prior to transportation of the materials to the final disposal site. Final review of design and construction of the proposed facilities shall be by the department.

d. The recipients of grants shall provide for collection of hazardous wastes from conditionally exempt small quantity generators in the area of the facility established. The facility shall require payment for collection from conditionally exempt small quantity generators if the amount of waste disposed is greater than ten pounds. Conditionally exempt small quantity generators which deliver their hazardous wastes to a permanent collection facility shall not be required to obtain a permit to transport the hazardous waste to the permanent collection facility.
