HB 647 Solid waste management plans; units to maintain recycling and target rates.
Introduced by: Edward T. Scott | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Solid waste management plans. Establishes a new regimen for credits that can be used in meeting a solid waste planning unit's recycling rate. Currently, a credit of one ton for each ton of recycling residue generated and deposited in a landfill, not to exceed one-fifth of the 25% requirement, is allowed in calculating the planning unit's recycling rate. This bill would not change the credit for recycling residue but, in addition, would extend a two percentage point credit for source reduction programs implemented within the planning unit, a ton-for-ton credit for solid waste material that is reused, and a ton-for-ton credit for any nonmunicipal solid waste material that is recycled. The current requirement that a planning unit maintain a minimum 25% recycling rate is reduced for less densely populated planning units or those with high unemployment rates. The bill stipulates that a planning unit not meeting its mandated recycling rate cannot be the sole reason for the denial of a permit or permit amendment for a new sanitary landfill, incinerator, or waste-to-energy facility. This bill is identical to SB 57.
