Bill overview
This bill establishes a fee for the disposal of hazardous waste in ‘class I multisource commercial hazardous waste disposal wells’ located in Michigan. The fee, initially set at 0.417 cents per gallon, will be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index. Revenue generated from these fees will be deposited into a ‘disposal well host community fund’ to support grants to communities hosting these wells, promoting public health, safety, and welfare. The bill also outlines exemptions for certain waste streams and requires generators to certify their waste’s exemption status.
