4. 4 General Rule.0101 Edits The rule language was updated based on EPA guidance to specify when state program titles should be substituted for federal ones. Previously, the language tried to list each specific substitution, which quickly became outdated as state and federal rules changed. “When used in any of the federal regulations incorporated by reference throughout this subchapter, except where the context requires references to remain without substitution (including with regard to forms, publications and regulations concerning international shipments, variances from land disposal restrictions and other program areas over which the federal government retains sole authority): “United States” shall mean the State of North Carolina; “Environmental Protection Agency,” “EPA” and “Agency” shall mean the Department of Environmental Quality ; and “Administrator,” “Regional Administrator,” “Assistant Administrator” and “Director” shall mean the Secretary of the Department of Environmental Quality. The North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and other applicable North Carolina General Statutes shall be substituted for references to “the Solid Waste Disposal Act,” “the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act” and “RCRA” where required by context.” Department of Environmental Quality
