Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Management
There is no special law governing hazardous waste because there is no clear legal definition clearly distinguishing between solid waste and hazardous solid waste. The NEQA is not the key law governing solid waste and hazardous waste. Only where there is no specific law or regulation concerning management of certain types and categories of hazardous waste, can the Minister of MOSTE prescribe regulations to control storage, transportation, treatment, and disposal of such waste.50
