Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would change Kentucky law to prevent the Energy and Environment Cabinet from classifying certain industrial waste from metallurgic processes as a lower-regulated category of solid waste, even if that waste is reused within a facility's own manufacturing operations. The change would apply regardless of how the waste is handled on-site. Who it may affect: industrial facilities that produce metallurgic waste, and communities near solid waste processing sites.
