Bill > HB4886

This bill amends the Environmental Protection Act to prohibit the use of sites where a former waste disposal operation took place in ways that contradict the closure of that operation, meaning these sites cannot be used in a manner that would compromise their safety or environmental integrity after closure. Specifically, it forbids activities that disturb or damage the final cover, liner, or any part of the system designed to contain waste, interfere with any monitoring systems in place to track environmental conditions, or cause erosion or water pooling on the final cover. The Environmental Protection Act, or EPA, is the primary federal law that provides the EPA with the authority to regulate pollution.
