Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Designating the rules governing the management of landfill gas and odors at solid waste facilities as major substantive rules and not routine technical rules will require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to assemble and submit rulemaking materials to the Legislature for review and will require DEP officials to be available for testimony to the Legislature, resulting in minor additional costs which can absorb within existing budgeted resources.
