HB 371
AN ACT relating to solid waste management.
In Plain Language
This bill changes how industrial waste sites are regulated by requiring them to be treated as regular solid waste disposal facilities if a company handles waste from its own property or subsidiary facilities. It also requires solid waste management plans to describe how they'll expand capacity at residual waste sites and account for waste coming from outside their local area.
Official summary
Amend KRS 224.40-315 to exclude from the exemption in the definition of municipal solid waste disposal facility any waste site or facility that accepts industrial solid waste generated on or adjacent to property owned by the generator or by another facility owned by the generator or wholly-owned subsidiary; amend KRS 224.43-345 to require a description in the solid waste management plan of capacity expansions for residual waste sites or facilities, including amounts of wastes from areas outside of the solid waste management area.
