This bill amends Chapter 111 of the General Laws to give the board of health of a city or town within one-half mile of a solid waste disposal facility the authority to adopt reasonable rules and regulations to protect the public health from unnecessary or excessive noise, frequent and unwarranted smoke, and obnoxious odors. The bill also amends Section 150A½ of Chapter 111 to include the potential for adverse impacts on air quality, such as frequent and unwarranted smoke and strong and obnoxious odors, as a factor to be considered when evaluating a solid waste disposal facility. Additionally, the bill inserts the word "excessive" before "from" in Section 150A½, line 21.
