AI Summary
This bill amends the Solid Waste Management Act to further define "drill cuttings" and "solid waste," and provides additional requirements for the disposal, processing, and storage of residual waste. It requires testing of leachate (liquid that drains from waste) for certain substances and hazardous characteristics before discharge, and establishes reporting requirements for facilities. The bill also adds a new section on "exempt special wastes," which sets standards for determining if such wastes are nonhazardous and nonradioactive before they can be received and processed by a facility.
