It also imposes additional requirements on the disposal, processing, and storage of residual waste, including testing for radioactive materials, chloride, bromide, sulfate, and nitrate. The bill also requires facilities to report quarterly on the content and characteristics of the waste they receive and the resulting leachate. Finally, the bill makes an editorial change to update a reference to Pennsylvania's Bituminous Coal Mine Act.
