prescribe the following: | 11 | | (a) Standards for the location, design, construction, | 12 | | sanitation,

use of hazardous waste disposal sites;
| 10 | | (g) Requirements to prohibit the disposal of certain | 11 | | hazardous
wastes in sanitary landfills where, after regulatory | 12 | | proceedings held in
conformance with Title VII of this Act, it | 13 | | is determined by the Board that
the long term impacts to public | 14 | | health and the environment are such that
land burial should not | 15 | | be allowed and where an economically reasonable,
technically | 16 | | feasible and environmentally sound alternative is available | 17 | | for
processing, recycling, fixation or neutralization of such | 18 | | wastes. The
agency shall participate in all such proceedings. | 19 | | No such prohibition may
become effective unless a specific | 20 | | alternative technology meeting the
criteria of this subsection | 21 | | is identified by the Board. Nothing in this
subsection shall | 22 | | prohibit the land burial of any hazardous waste which is
the | 23 | | subject of review under this subsection until such time as a | 24 | | final
prohibition order is issued by the Board.
