Sec. 11128.

(1)The department shall submit to the legislature proposed rules listing hazardous waste and other criteria as required by this part. The rules shall state the criteria for identifying the characteristics of hazardous waste and for listing the types of hazardous waste, taking into account toxicity, persistence, degradability in nature, potential for accumulation in tissue, and other related factors including flammability, corrosiveness, and other hazardous characteristics. The department shall revise by rule the criteria and listing as necessary. A rule promulgated for the purpose of removing from the list those materials removed from the federal list of regulated materials or removing from management as a hazardous waste those wastes that have been exempted from management under the solid waste disposal act are not required to meet the requirements of sections 41, 42, and 45(2) of the administrative procedures act of 1969, Act No. 306 of the Public Acts of 1969, being sections 24.241, 24.242, and 24.245 of the Michigan Compiled Laws.

(2)Before the department establishes the list, the department shall hold not less than 3 public hearings in different municipalities in the state. To ensure consistency between federal and state requirements, this part, the rules promulgated by the department, and the list shall be construed to conform as closely as possible to requirements established under the solid waste disposal act.
