Solid waste disposal; unpermitted sites and open dumps, regulation and cleanup.
Summary
Solid waste disposal; unpermitted sites and open dumps; regulation and cleanup. Prohibits the disposal of solid waste in an unpermitted facility and provides that the presence of unpermitted solid waste on a person's property is prima facie evidence that the person allowed solid waste to be disposed of on his property without a permit. The bill adds open dumps to the types of site that the Department of Environmental Quality is authorized to require to be cleaned up and provides that the party responsible for such cleanup shall include any party who caused the site to become an open dump or caused the improper management of waste at the site. The bill includes technical amendments.
