EPA-DEBRIS FOR LANDFILL USE
Summary
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Defines general construction or demolition debris that is processed for use at a landfill as general construction or demolition debris that is processed for use as alternative daily cover, road building material, or drainage structure building material at a MSWLF unit. Requires this type of debris to be sorted from non-recyclable general construction or demolition debris within 48 hours after its arrival at a waste disposal facility. Exempts this type of debris, however, from the requirement to be transported off site within 72 hours after arrival. Provides that the 75% diversion requirement shall be calculated monthly on a 12-month rolling average (rather than on a daily basis). Requires non-putrescible debris of this type to be transported to a MSWLF unit, for use or disposal, within 6 months after its arrival at a facility. Requires putrescible debris of this type to be transported to a MSWLF unit, for use or disposal, within 45 days after its arrival at a facility. Provides that general construction or demolition debris that is processed for use at a landfill is not non-recyclable general construction or demolition debris and may not be counted toward the 75% diversion requirement if sent for disposal at the end of the applicable retention period. Effective immediately.
