What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides that the definition of “solid waste” does not include certain

iron and steel slags.

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources administers rules

relating to the management and disposal of solid waste. “Solid waste” includes

garbage, sludge from treatment plants and pollution control facilities, and other

discarded or salvageable materials. “Solid waste” does not include material in

domestic sewage, irrigation return flows, or industrial discharges subject to permits,

or certain radioactive or nuclear materials. This bill provides that “solid waste” does

not include slag generated by the production or processing of iron or steel and that

is managed as an item of value in a controlled manner and is not discarded.
