AI Summary

This bill, the CLEANER Act of 2019 or the Closing Loopholes and Ending Arbitrary and Needless Evasion of Regulations Act of 2019, requires the regulation of wastes associated with the exploration, development, or production of crude oil, natural gas, or geothermal energy under the Solid Waste Disposal Act. Specifically, it directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator to determine whether such wastes, including drilling fluids and produced waters, meet the criteria for identification or listing as hazardous waste, and to promulgate regulations for the management of any wastes identified or listed as hazardous. Additionally, the bill requires the EPA to revise the criteria for facilities that may receive these non-hazardous wastes to ensure the protection of human health and the environment, including through ground water monitoring and other measures.
