| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| This bill directs the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the State Planning Office to determine the solid waste disposal capacity needs and determine the capacity of the state owned landfills. Further, this bill limits the gross vehicle weight for delivery of waste to a disposal facility to 80,000 lbs. The additional costs to DEP associated with this rulemaking can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources as many of the tasks required are currently being undertaken. | ||||||
