HB 2522 -- Solid Waste Processing Facilities

Sponsor:  Bivins

This bill requires applicants for a permit to construct a solid
waste facility to notify all residents living within 1,000 feet
of the proposed facility.  Residents will be allowed to voice any
comments and concerns at a community involvement session, request
a public hearing before the Department of Natural Resources prior
to the permit approval, and appeal a department's permit decision
to the Administrative Hearing Commission and the appropriate
courts.  Notification procedures and meeting requirements for the
community involvement session are specified in the bill.

The department will have 270 days to act on a permit application
if a public hearing is requested and 180 days if no public
hearing is requested.
