HB 2371 -- Solid Waste Processing Facilities

Sponsor:  Franz

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to
establish minimum design, siting, operation, inspection,
monitoring, financial assurance, and closure requirements by
regulation for all material recovery facilities.  The department
may establish different requirements depending on the nature and
content of the solid waste streams processed by the facility, the
degree of automation to be used in the processing and recovery
activities, the amount and type of nonrecyclable wastes remaining
after resource recovery, and other factors as determined by the
department.

Until the material recovery facility regulations have become
final and effective, the department is prohibited from issuing
any permit to construct or operate a material recovery facility
unless the facility processes only solid waste collected as part
of a source-separated or single-stream residential, commercial,
or industrial recycling program.
