Currently, a permit is not required to operate a waste stabilization lagoon, settling pond or other water treatment facility that has a valid permit form the Clean Water Commission. This bill modifies the facilities that are exempted from permitting.
The bill also specifies that solid waste permits are not transferable and any subsequent assignee, purchaser, or transferee must submit a new application to the department and comply with all public notice, public meeting, financial disclosure, background check and financial assurance requirements.
Any facility that accepts and stores solid wastes and that formerly operated under a fertilizer distributor permit issued by the Fertilizer Control Board must apply for solid waste permits from the Department of Natural Resources.
