This bill specifies that land application of industrial wastewater, industrial wastewater sludge, and related process wastes must be subject to a nutrient management technical standard established by rule by the Department of Natural Resources. The Department may require surface water sampling and groundwater monitoring when land application fields are located in hydrologically sensitive areas.
The bill also prohibits the Missouri Clean Water Commission from exempting any entity from the requirement to obtain any water pollution permit based on licensure under the Missouri Fertilizer law, including labeling requirements, unless the entity is producing products that are commercially sold to an end user.
In order to receive an operating permit, a point source or operating location must have applied for and received a construction permit, if required, prior to construction of the facility.
