SB 5729-S - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

     Establishes parameters for solid waste facility locational standards.

     Declares that no landfill may be located:  (1) So that the active area is closer than five miles to any national park or a public or private nonprofit zoological park displaying native animals in their native habitats; or

     (2) over a sole source aquifer designated under the federal safe drinking water act, if such designation was effective before January 1, 1999.

     Requires each landfill to be constructed with an impermeable berm around the entire perimeter of the active area of the landfill of such height, thickness, and design as will be sufficient to contain all material disposed in the event of a complete failure of the structural integrity of the landfill.
