The bill mandates the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency to amend existing rules concerning solid waste disposal facilities, specifically to require the commissioner's approval before terminating the postclosure care period. This change aims to enhance oversight and ensure that proper care is maintained for solid waste disposal sites even after they are closed.
Additionally, the bill allows the commissioner to utilize the good cause exemption under Minnesota Statutes, section 14.388, subdivision 1, clause (3), for the adoption of these new rules. It specifies that the standard procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 14.386, will not apply, except as stated in section 14.388, streamlining the rulemaking process for this particular regulation.
