Bill Summary
Relative to solid waste disposal facilities in environmental justice communities. Environment and Natural Resources.
AI Summary
This bill would amend Massachusetts law to require the state's Department of Environmental Protection to adopt regulations related to violations of permit terms by solid waste disposal facilities located in environmental justice communities. The regulations would include substantial monetary fines that increase with each violation, as well as permit revocation for facilities that regularly violate the terms of their permits. Environmental justice communities are those that have historically borne a disproportionate share of environmental burdens.
