Utah hazardous-waste rule delayed
If you run a business or work in a community in Utah that handles hazardous waste, the EPA has withdrawn its approval of Utah’s updated hazardous waste rules that were published on December 23, 2024. That means the state changes will not take effect for now while the EPA reviews adverse comments and decides next steps.
No immediate costs or deadlines
You will not face new costs or new compliance deadlines right now because the EPA pulled back its December 23, 2024 rule approval and will review comments before taking further action. The pause means businesses and communities in Utah should not expect immediate changes until the EPA decides the next steps.
