For legislation to remove and dispose of waste oil. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 52A of Chapter 21 of the General Laws, which pertains to environmental protection, by adding a new requirement for entities that accept waste oil or petroleum products for disposal. Specifically, any business that takes these materials from automobile service stations, marinas that service motorized boats, or stores selling car oil must first submit a detailed plan to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) outlining how they will collect, transport, process, and dispose of the waste oil. A copy of this plan must also be given to the businesses providing the waste oil. Failure to comply with these new regulations will result in a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for each violation.
