Comprehensive Revisions and Enhancements to Title 6 NYCRR Part 360 Regulations

New York State's Solid Waste Management Facilities Regulations, 6 NYCRR Part 360 (Part 360) are the authority by which the State sets design standards and operational criteria for all solid waste management facilities. The Department is revising these regulations to include technical amendments and clarifications, as well as updated language due to legal and policy developments. The revisions will reflect the Department's experience in implementing these regulations since the last major revision in 1992.

The current Part 360 Regulations will remain in effect until such time as the rulemaking process is complete.

New Format

The revisions a re-formatting of the existing structure of Part 360 into a Part 360 series, enumerated as Parts 360-369.
