Sec.  228.3  Disposal site management responsibilities.



    (a) Management of a site consists of regulating times, rates, and 

methods of disposal and quantities and types of materials disposed of; 

developing and maintaining effective ambient monitoring programs for the 

site; conducting disposal site evaluation and designation studies; and 

recommending modifications in site use and/or designation (e.g., 

termination of use of the site for general use or for disposal of 

specific wastes).

    (b) Each site, upon interim or final designation, will be assigned 

to either an EPA Regional office or to EPA Headquarters for management. 

These designations will be consistent with the delegation of authority 

in Sec.  220.4. The designated management authority is fully responsible 

for all aspects of the management of sites within the general 

requirements specified in Sec.  220.4 and this section. Specific 

requirements for meeting the management responsibilities assigned to the 

designated management authority for each site are outlined in Sec. Sec.  

228.5 and 228.6.
