Bill Summary

An Act amending the act of July 7, 1980 (P.L.380, No.97), known as the Solid Waste Management Act, in general provisions, further providing for definitions; in applications and permits, further providing for permit and license application requirements; and making an inconsistent repeal.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Solid Waste Management Act by modifying the definitions of "drill cuttings" and "hazardous waste". It also updates the permit and license application requirements to refer to the Bituminous Coal Mine Safety Act instead of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act. Additionally, the bill repeals provisions of the Oil and Gas Act that are inconsistent with the new definition of "hazardous waste". The bill is intended to provide clearer regulations around the management of waste materials associated with oil and gas exploration and production.
