requiring the state to develop additional solid waste disposal capacity.

Summary

The bill orders the Department of Environmental Services to compile a statewide list of all operating and closed landfills, showing how much extra space each could accommodate. It also prevents the department from approving any new landfill on untouched land unless the applicant can prove that none of the listed sites are suitable. The goal is to use existing waste sites more fully and protect undeveloped land.
