Bill > HB371

This bill modifies Kentucky's solid waste management regulations by narrowing the exemption for industrial solid waste disposal facilities. Specifically, the bill changes the definition of a municipal solid waste disposal facility to remove the existing exclusion for waste sites that are owned and operated exclusively by a waste generator. Under the new language, a facility will no longer be exempt if it accepts industrial solid waste from the generator's industrial activities occurring on the same or adjacent property, even if those properties are divided by a roadway. The bill also allows such a facility to accept additional industrial solid waste from a corporate affiliate or another facility owned by the same generator. This change means that more industrial waste disposal sites will be subject to permitting requirements and oversight by the state's environmental cabinet, potentially increasing regulatory scrutiny of industrial waste management practices. The amendment aims to provide more comprehensive monitoring and management of industrial solid waste disposal sites across Kentucky.
