AI Summary
This bill amends the Solid Waste Management Act by updating the definitions of "drill cuttings" and "hazardous waste," further regulating permit and license application requirements, and repealing inconsistent provisions from the Oil and Gas Act. Specifically, the bill expands the definition of hazardous waste to include wastes associated with the exploration, development, or production of natural gas or geothermal energy. It also requires permit applications to demonstrate compliance with various environmental laws, and repeals conflicting provisions from the Oil and Gas Act.
