HF 2356: Relating to programs within the department of natural resources, including specifications of procedures relating to solid waste disposal and the repeal of the state interagency Missouri river authority and the mercury-free recycling Act

What it does

This bill relates to certain programs within the department of natural resources (DNR). The bill inserts the word “sanitary” before certain instances of the word “landfill” in Code chapter 455B, subchapter IV, part (part 1). The phrase “sanitary landfill” is defined in part as a sanitary disposal project where solid waste is buried between layers of earth. Therefore, the provisions affecting a landfill in the amended Code sections apply specifically to a sanitary landfill as defined in part 1. The bill also changes certain instances of “sanitary disposal project” and “sanitary disposal project site” to “sanitary landfill” so that only a sanitary landfill, rather than a sanitary disposal project in general, is subject to specific regulations, including groundwater monitoring requirements and the installation of shafts to relieve the accumulation of gas.
