On Tuesday, June 16th, a package of Senate bills (SB 400, 401, and 402) was introduced to implement changes to the Part 121 Liquid Industrial Waste Rules. These changes are a product of a stakeholder workgroup formed to address an ORR recommendation that the DEQ streamline the process of handling these materials. The legislation has been referred to the Senate Committee on Natural Resources.
The MCC and member company representatives participated in the stakeholder process to develop these recommendations. Please let us know as soon as soon as possible if you have any questions or concerns about the changes.
SB 400 includes all the changes to Part 121 based on the workgroup recommendations.
SB 401 amends the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, PA 138 of 1998 and changes the reference from liquid industrial waste to liquid industrial by-product for the purpose of transporter licensing.
SB 402 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure, PA 175 of 1927, based on Part 121 changes and includes some other technical updates inserted by the Legislative Services Bureau.
