Wyoming Statutes Title 35. Public Health and Safety § 35-11-518. Prior federal court orders and administrative orders

(a) The department may become a party to, or assume the rights and duties of the federal government for, any federal court order which has been issued pursuant to subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, P.L. 94-580, prior to the effective date of the authorization of the state hazardous waste program under that subtitle. Any person subject to a prior federal court order issued pursuant to subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, shall not be subject to any additional, conflicting or more restrictive remedial or corrective action order or requirement under this act with respect to the hazardous waste management unit, solid waste management unit or area of concern that is the subject of the federal court order, unless required to comply with new requirements adopted under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. If the department becomes a party to, or assumes the rights and duties of the federal government for, any prior federal court order, the department shall be governed by, and subject to, the dispute resolution procedures of the federal court which retains jurisdiction for the order and may, within those procedures and under the law governing the federal order, seek any remedy, change, amendment or other relief relating to the order.

(b) The department may issue an administrative order which is equivalent to any federal administrative order which has been issued pursuant to subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, prior to the effective date of the authorization of the state hazardous waste program under that subtitle. The limitations regarding stringency contained in subsection (a) of this section apply to orders issued under this subsection. Following the issuance of any order under this subsection, any disputes concerning implementation of the order shall be resolved by appeal to the council as provided by this act. Any person aggrieved or adversely affected in fact by a final decision of the council is entitled to judicial review in accordance with the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act.
