       Florida Senate - 2010                             CS for SB 1052 
        
       By the Committee on Environmental Preservation and Conservation; 
       and Senator Gaetz 
       592-05311-10                                          20101052c1 
    1                        A bill to be entitled                       
    2         An act relating to solid waste disposal; amending s. 
    3         403.708, F.S.; authorizing the disposal of yard trash 
    4         at a Class I landfill if the landfill has a system for 
    5         collecting landfill gas and arranging for the reuse of 
    6         the gas and has obtained a minor permit modification; 
    7         providing an effective date. 
    8   
    9  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida: 
   10   
   11         Section 1. Paragraph (c) of subsection (12) of section 
   12  403.708, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: 
   13         403.708 Prohibition; penalty.— 
   14         (12) A person who knows or should know of the nature of the 
   15  following types of solid waste may not dispose of such solid 
   16  waste in landfills: 
   17         (c) Yard trash in lined landfills classified by department 
   18  rule as Class I landfills, unless the landfill uses an active 
   19  gas-collection system to collect landfill gas generated at the 
   20  disposal facility and provides or arranges for a beneficial 
   21  reuse of the gas. A qualifying permitted Class I landfill must 
   22  obtain a minor permit modification to its operating permit which 
   23  describes the beneficial use being made of the landfill gas and 
   24  modifies the facility’s operation plan before receiving yard 
   25  trash as authorized by this paragraph. The permittee must 
   26  certify that gas collection and beneficial use will continue 
   27  after closure of the disposal unit that is accepting yard trash. 
   28  Yard trash that is source separated from solid waste may be 
   29  accepted at a solid waste disposal area where separate yard 
   30  trash composting facilities are provided and maintained. The 
   31  department recognizes that incidental amounts of yard trash may 
   32  be disposed of in Class I landfills. In any enforcement action 
   33  taken pursuant to this paragraph, the department shall consider 
   34  the difficulty of removing incidental amounts of yard trash from 
   35  a mixed solid waste stream. 
   36         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2010.
