This bill changes the rules around how certain industrial waste sites are classified and planned for in Kentucky. It would remove a legal exemption for some industrial waste facilities, meaning they would be treated more like standard municipal solid waste disposal sites under state law. It also requires local solid waste management plans to include more detail about expansions of waste facilities, including how much waste comes in from outside the local area. Who it may affect: industrial businesses that operate their own waste disposal sites, local governments responsible for solid waste planning, and communities near waste facilities.
