Summary


The proposed rule change deletes Subsection R315-302-1(2)(a)(iii), a landfill location requirement that prohibits a new solid waste landfill from locating within "farmland classified or evaluated as 'prime,' 'unique,' or of 'statewide importance' by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service under the Prime Farmland Protection Act." Removing this particular location requirement does not lessen environmental or public health protection because other siting standards will continue to apply to siting new solid waste landfills.
