An Act Regarding Solid Waste Facilities
Sec. 1. 38 MRSA §1310-X, sub-§3, ¶B, as amended by PL 1995, c. 68, §1, is repealed and the following enacted in its place:
(1) Is located on property owned on December 31, 1989 by the licensee or by a corporation or other business entity under common ownership or control with the licensee; or
(2) For a commercial solid waste disposal facility that is a landfill that is not under order or agreement to close, is located on property owned by the licensee; and
summary
This bill amends the law that prohibits expansion of commercial solid waste disposal facilities by authorizing a commercial landfill that is not under an order or agreement to close to expand if the proposed expansion is contiguous with the existing facility and is located on property owned by the person holding the commercial solid waste facility license. Current law requires that the proposed expansion be contiguous with the existing facility and be located on property owned on December 31, 1989 by the licensee or by a corporation or other business entity under common ownership or control with the licensee.
