(a) The department, acting through the commission, shall promulgate and revise criteria for identifying hazardous waste.
(b) When developing these criteria, the department shall determine whether the concentrations being disposed of present immediate or persistent toxic hazards to human health or the environment, or the resistance of such wastes to natural degradation or detoxification and/or whether such wastes are bioconcentrative, ignitable, reactive, toxic, irritating, corrosive or infectious in addition to any hazardous characteristics.
(c) The department shall compile, and revise from time to time thereafter, a listing of solid wastes which have been determined to be hazardous by using these criteria. Unless specifically excluded, all solid wastes identified as hazardous by application of the criteria are hazardous wastes and must be managed in accordance with this chapter and the regulations promulgated under authority of this chapter.
(d) In developing the criteria the department shall, to the extent feasible, consider actions taken by contiguous states and the federal government for the development and application of uniform criteria.
(e) The department shall exclude from regulation under this act such solid wastes and processes producing solid wastes as are excluded from regulation by the RCRA or the regulations promulgated under authority of the RCRA.
