procedures for monitoring contaminant discharges at their
source, the collection of samples and the collection, reporting
and retention of data resulting from such monitoring;
(e) Alert and abatement standards relative to land
pollution emergencies constituting an acute danger to health or
to the environment;
(f) Requirements and standards for adequate and proper care
and maintenance of, closure of, and post-closure monitoring,
maintenance and use of hazardous waste disposal sites;
(g) Requirements to prohibit the disposal of certain
hazardous wastes in sanitary landfills where, after regulatory
proceedings held in conformance with Title VII of this Act, it
is determined by the Board that the long term impacts to public
health and the environment are such that land burial should not
be allowed and where an economically reasonable, technically
feasible and environmentally sound alternative is available
for processing, recycling, fixation or neutralization of such
wastes. The agency shall participate in all such proceedings.
No such prohibition may become effective unless a specific
alternative technology meeting the criteria of this subsection
is identified by the Board. Nothing in this subsection shall
prohibit the land burial of any hazardous waste which is the
subject of review under this subsection until such time as a
final prohibition order is issued by the Board.
