to evaluate the volume and types of solid waste managed in Louisiana that includes solid waste that
is reduced, generated, transported, recycled, processed, incinerated, treated, stored, or disposed.
Present law requires the secretary to determine the permitted capacity based on the evaluation that
is available to safely manage the solid waste and report to the oversight committees and the public.
Present law requires the secretary to consider permitted capacity, along with other relevant factors,
in the permitting of solid waste.
Proposed law prohibits the secretary from issuing or renewing any permit, registration, variance, and
license to operate any landfill that has reached capacity in a parish having a population of 439,000
or greater according to the most recent federal decennial census.
