Summary
Storage of sewage sludge. Provides that a locality may
adopt an ordinance that requires that a special exception or a special use
permit be obtained for the routine storage or temporary storage of sewage
sludge in its jurisdiction, including any area that is zoned as an agricultural
district or classification. No person shall apply to the State Health
Commissioner or the State Water Control Board for a permit or a permit
modification authorizing such storage without first complying with all
requirements that may be adopted by a locality. Furthermore, this bill provides
that the Board of Health and the Department of Environmental Quality will
promulgate regulations consistent with the bill's provisions.
