AI Summary
This bill amends the Solid Waste Management Act to further define "drill cuttings" and "solid waste," and to impose additional requirements on the disposal, processing, and storage of residual waste. It requires facilities to test leachate for certain contaminants, including naturally occurring radionuclides, and to report the testing results to the Department of Environmental Protection and the municipality. The bill also provides for the management of "exempt special wastes" and requires public hearings if leachate exceeds permissible levels or is found to be hazardous. The bill also makes an editorial change related to the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act.
