(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

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
