Broome SCR No. 159
Requests the Department of Environmental Quality to give extra consideration to the views
of the local officials and the surrounding community when deciding to issue certain landfill
permits.
Requires DEQ to immediately take all necessary steps to initiate through its rule-making
authority all measures to incorporate such local requirements into its industrial waste
regulations under Title 33 of the Louisiana Administrative Code.
Requires that prior to the department issuing an order to commence operations, any industrial
waste disposal facility permittee, except for any transfer station, provide the department with
a written resolution or authorization from the appropriate municipal or parish governing
authority where the facility will be located, dated within 180 days prior to such order and
stating that the facility is in compliance with all existing local zoning and land use
restrictions.
Requires that the department immediately take all necessary steps to implement such
requirements into all industrial waste disposal permits which have not yet received an order
to commence from the department.
