LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 27, 2017 TO: Honorable Craig Estes, Chair, Senate Committee on Natural Resources & Economic Development FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB746 by Kolkhorst (Relating to a prohibition of the land application of grit or grease trap waste.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend Health and Safety Code, Ch. 361 to add definitions of "Grease trap waste", "Grit trap", and "Grit trap waste", and would prohibit the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) from issuing a permit, registration, or other authorization for land applications of grit trap waste or grease trap waste. This prohibition would exclude a permit, registration or other authorization issued for the disposal of grease trap waste or grit trap waste at a municipal solid waste Type I landfill, a municipal solid waste Type V facility, or a compost facility. Any permit, registration or other authorization issued by TCEQ that would be in violation of the bill's provisions would expire on the effective date of the Act; any remainder of the authorization would remain in effect as long as it does not authorize land application of grease trap waste or grit trap waste. TCEQ estimates that implementing the provisions of this bill can be accomplished using existing resources. Local Government Impact Because the TCEQ sludge program has historically not issued permits or other authorizations for the land application of grit and grease trap waste, TCEQ estimates that no fiscal implications are anticipated for local and other governmental agencies.
