Huffman's bill SB 474, is even worse than the HB 3075 by Nelson, Storch, et al. offered last year. That bill at least had a cap, in that it limited landfills from exceeding their cap for drill cuttings by no more than 40 %. the text of SB 474 consists of a single paragraph added to 22-15-8 as shown below. My position is that the landfill caps are sacred, and if the gas industry produced too much waste, they should haul it to PA or Ohio.
JBK
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this code to the contrary, a commercial solid waste facility may lawfully receive drill cuttings and associated drilling waste generated from horizontal well sites above the monthly tonnage limits of that commercial solid waste facility: Provided, That the drill cuttings and associated drilling waste are placed in a separate cell dedicated solely to the disposal of drilling waste. The secretary may allow solid waste facilities that are actively constructing a separate cell for drilling waste to accept drilling waste until September 30, 2014, without counting it towards the permitted monthly tonnage limits: Provided, That, That under no circumstances may a solid waste facility exclude or refuse to take municipal solid waste until it has reached its monthly permitted tonnage limits.

Huffman presented the DEP budget outlook at Senate Finance yesterday afternoon. This bill was just introduced yesterday. It is DEP's bill. So I got a copy of it when it was available, and after the Finance meeting had a conversation with Randy and Kristen Boggs and Scott Mandirola about it. I showed them the bill and asked why radiation meters and monitoring were not included in the bill, as Randy had said they would be. He was surprised and Kristen said it was a mistake done by bill drafting. They said they would fix that.
But this is still a bad bill.

Ugh, anybody else seen this yet? Thoughts on what to do?
