§ 10.1-1413.1. Waste information and assessment program.

A. The Department shall report by June 30 of each year the amount of solid waste, by weight or volume, disposed of in the Commonwealth during the preceding calendar year quarterly, and make available electronically, the amount of solid waste, by weight or volume, disposed of in the Commonwealth according to the following schedule: first quarter disposal shall be reported no later than September 30; second quarter disposal, no later than December 30; third quarter disposal, no later than March 30; and fourth quarter disposal and an annual compilation, no later than June 30. The report shall identify solid waste by the following categories: (i) municipal solid waste with subcategories of residential and commercial; (ii) construction and demolition debris; (iii) incinerator ash; (iv) sludge other than sludge that is land applied in accordance with § 32.1-164.5; and (v) tires; (vi) industrial waste; (vii) regulated medical waste; (viii) vegetative and yard waste; (ix) white goods; (x) friable asbestos; (xi) petroleum-contaminated soil; and (xii) other waste (to be specified). For each such category the report shall include an estimate of the amount that was generated outside of the Commonwealth and the jurisdictions where such waste originated, if known. The report shall also estimate the amount of solid waste managed or disposed of by each of the following methods: (i) recycling to be divided into quantities of newsprint, corrugated paper, office paper, mixed and other paper, plastics, metals, glass, other organics, and other inorganics; (ii) composting; (iii) landfilling; and (iv) incineration.

B. All permitted facilities that treat, store or dispose of solid waste shall provide the Department not more than annually, upon request, with such information in their possession as is reasonably necessary to prepare the report required by this section. Additionally, copies of reports from the facilities to their host communities, which describe the disposal fees paid, shall accompany the report required under this subsection. The fees paid to the facility shall be broken down, in the report, by category of solid waste, as provided in clauses (i) through (xii) of subsection A of this section. At the option of the facility owner, the data collected may include an accounting of the facility's economic benefits to the locality where the facility is located including the value of disposal and recycling facilities provided to the locality at no cost or reduced cost, direct employment associated with the facility, and other economic benefits resulting from the facility during the preceding calendar year. No facility shall be required pursuant to this section to provide information that is a trade secret as defined in § 59.1-336.

C. This section shall not apply to captive waste management facilities.
