What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill provides that the definition of “solid waste” does not include certain sediments removed from the bed of Lake Michigan or Lake Superior.
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 sand naturally deposited on the bed of Lake Michigan or Lake Superior that is removed and for which a sediment sample analysis indicates an allowable level of contamination.
