The bill establishes a prioritized list of cease and transfer projects for municipal solid waste facilities in Wyoming, authorizing the expenditure of previously appropriated funds for these projects. It defines key terms such as "closure project" and "transfer project," and specifies a maximum amount to be expended on each project, which reflects the total project cost. The bill includes a carcass management project with a designated funding amount and allows municipal solid waste facility operators to apply for these funds. Additionally, it grants the Department of Environmental Quality limited discretionary authority to modify the prioritized list based on factors such as project readiness and emergency concerns.
Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Department of Environmental Quality report any modifications to the prioritized list and the expenditures related to the carcass management project to relevant legislative committees by October 15 each year. It also repeals a prior priority list of cease and transfer projects, streamlining the process for managing municipal solid waste facilities. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative procedures.
