Amendments Related to Industrial Wastes to Address 2015 Legislation – Fees for Local Monitoring and Testing
Action 4450
 
General Information
Action Summary 2015 House Bill 1364 and Senate Bill 1413 contained language to allow localities to adopt ordinances establishing a local monitoring program to test and monitor the land application of solid and semisolid industrial waste. The Bills also required the State Water Control Board to adopt regulations imposing a fee of $5.00 per dry ton on the generators of solid or semisolid industrial waste land applied and establish necessary procedures for managing the funds. The Fees for Permits and Certificates regulation (9VAC25-20) is being revised to incorporate a fee of $5.00, beginning January 1, 2016, on each dry ton of solid or semisolid industrial waste that is land applied, and establishes procedures for collecting the fees; depositing them into the sludge management fund and dispersing them to localities for the monitoring and testing of solid or semisolid industrial wastes. The VPDES Permit Regulation and the VPA Permit Regulation are being revised to modify definitions and include new definitions specific to industrial wastes and address local enforcement regarding the land application of industrial wastes.
