An Act To Amend the Laws Governing Funding for Landfill Closure Costs

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

Sec. 1. 38 MRSA §1310-F, sub-§1-B, ¶E,  as amended by PL 2015, c. 302, §1, is further amended to read:

E. Notwithstanding paragraphs B, C and D, the state cost share is 75% of closure costs, including landfill cover costs, incurred on or after July 1, 1994 and before December 31, 2025, if:

(1) The commissioner originally issued a license on or before September 1, 1989 or accepted a license application for processing on or before September 1, 1989 that was approved by the commissioner within one year of acceptance for processing for operation of the landfill and found that the landfill met the design requirements and environmental protection standards at the time of licensing; and

(2) The commissioner has since determined that the landfill or portion of the landfill must be closed based on the finding that the landfill is contaminating groundwater and that corrective actions have not been successful.

Effective 90 days following adjournment of the 129th Legislature, First Regular Session, unless otherwise indicated.
