The good news:
H.B. 397 which I discussed in earlier posts is scheduled to move through both the House and Senate in the next few weeks.
The bad news:
Legislative leaders are contemplating excluding from the new regulations 7 landfills whose applications were pending when the legislature adopted a moratorium on new licenses on July 1.
As the Tribune-Chronicle reports such a move would favor the special interests over the public interest.
- Both sides in the debate over construction and demolition debris landfills agree there is an issue of fairness involved when it comes to exempting certain facilities from proposed rules limiting where they can be located. The question is fair to whom, the owners or the public? Or as Sen. Marc Dann, D-Liberty, put it, the special interests or the public interest?
The issue was one of several debated at a meeting Tuesday of about 40 people with some interest in a bill that would stiffen regulations on the C&DD landfills. They included industry representatives, lawmakers, citizens, local officials, regulators and an environmental group.
Very very great post I am very happy to see this kind of blog.
