Action:
Amendment in response to Chapter 503 of the 2023 Virginia Acts of Assembly and Citation Update
Action 6309
General Information
| Action Summary |
This final exempt regulatory action is necessary to implement Chapter 503 of the 2023 Acts of Assembly (SB 1050). Chapter 503 of the 2023 Acts of Assembly requires the owner or operator of a proposed coal ash landfill in Planning District 8, if the facility boundary is located within one mile of an existing residential area that is not served by municipal water supply, to offer to provide, at its expense, municipal water supply service for such residential areas and any requested service connections for residential properties in existence at the time of permit application. Chapter 503 of the 2023 Acts of Assembly also dictates that DEQ cannot approve the landfill permit application if the owner or operator does not provide written offers and coordinate with the municipal water authority. This action will add a definition for Planning District 8 and amend Section 460 of the Solid Waste Management Regulations (9VAC20-81 et seq.) to include these new statutory requirements as part of the permit application process for such proposed landfills.
Additionally, Amendment 3 to the Regulated Medical Waste (RMW) Management Regulations, effective March 15, 2023, recodified those regulations from Chapter 120 to Chapter 121. This regulatory action also makes appropriate citation changes within the Solid Waste Management Regulations. |
