AI Summary

This bill aims to further regulate the siting of solid waste facilities in Massachusetts. It adds three new requirements to the existing law: (1) an assessment of potential adverse impacts on nearby Environmental Justice Populations, which are defined as low-income, minority, or limited English proficiency neighborhoods; (2) an evaluation of the potential for the site to be impacted by sea level rise or coastal storms due to climate change; and (3) an analysis of the proximity and potential impacts on designated Areas of Critical Environmental Concern. These additional considerations are intended to provide more comprehensive environmental and social justice assessments in the siting process for solid waste facilities.
