Bill > S60

This bill aims to disapprove various solid waste rule changes made by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission (EMC) in July 2020. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It defines the "Solid Waste Landfill Rules" as the specific rules adopted by the EMC in July 2020 and approved in October 2020. 2. It states that the Solid Waste Landfill Rules shall become effective when the bill becomes effective, except that the EMC and the Department of Environmental Quality shall implement the rules as provided in the bill until the effective date of the revised permanent rules the EMC is required to adopt. 3. It outlines specific implementation requirements, such as the process for submitting a notice of closure, obtaining a closure and post-closure care permit, and the information required for a change in ownership or corporate structure application. 4. It requires the EMC to adopt rules to amend the Solid Waste Landfill Rules to be consistent with the bill's implementation requirements, and specifies that these rules shall be substantively identical to the provisions in the bill. 5. It provides that the bill section expires when the permanent rules adopted as required by the bill become effective.
