SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Fees for testing and monitoring of land application of industrial wastes. Allows localities to adopt ordinances that provide for the testing and monitoring of the land application of solid or semisolid industrial wastes. The bill requires the State Water Control Board (the Board) to adopt regulations no later than January 1, 2016, requiring persons that land-apply industrial wastes to collect a fee from the generator of the industrial wastes and remit the fee to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The bill sets the fee at $5 per ton until altered by the Board. The bill requires the Board's regulations to include procedures for (i) collection of the fees by DEQ, (ii) deposit of the collected fees into the Sludge Management Fund (the Fund), and (iii) disbursements from the Fund to localities for the testing and monitoring of the industrial wastes. The Department of Environmental Quality is required to establish and implement a program to train the employees of the localities who will be responsible for testing and monitoring the land application of industrial wastes. The bill specifies the minimum instructional elements of the training program. This bill is identical to SB 1413.
