Sec. 1. 38 MRSA §2203-A, sub-§2, śC, as enacted by PL 1999, c. 385, §7, is amended to read:

C. A municipal or regional association landfill that has accepted 4,000 1,900 tons or more of oil-contaminated soil, gravel, brick, concrete and other aggregate in calendar year 1998 shall pay $5 per ton for that category of waste.

SUMMARY

This bill addresses financial inequities caused by Public Law 1999, chapter 385, which permits landfills to charge different fees for accepting oil-contaminated soil depending upon how much oil-contaminated soil the landfill accepted in 1998. It provides that a municipal or regional association landfill that accepted 1,900 tons or more of oil-contaminated soil, gravel, brick, concrete and other aggregate in calendar year 1998 shall pay $5 per ton for that category of waste.
