Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Provides that the term "pollution control facility" does not include the portion of a site or facility (i) that is used for the composting of food scrap, livestock waste, crop residue, uncontaminated wood waste, or paper waste, including, but not limited to, corrugated paper or cardboard and (ii) that meets a list of specified requirements. Replaces a provision that required the Agency to develop and make recommendations to the Board concerning (i) performance standards for organic waste compost facilities and (ii) testing procedures and standards for the end-product compost produced by organic waste compost facilities with a provision that authorizes the Agency to draft those standards. Redefines "organic waste" to include, among other things, food scrap (now, "food waste"), livestock waste, crop residue, and paper waste.
