Bill Summary
Relative to solid waste disposal facilities. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing laws in Massachusetts related to solid waste disposal facilities. It gives the local board of health the authority to adopt reasonable rules and regulations to protect public health from excessive noise, frequent and unwarranted smoke, and obnoxious odors from facilities within a half-mile radius of the city or town. The bill also modifies the criteria for evaluating the potential adverse impacts of a solid waste disposal facility to specifically include the potential for frequent and unwarranted smoke and strong and obnoxious odors. Additionally, it inserts the word "excessive" to further clarify the board of health's authority to address air quality concerns related to these facilities.
