2007 Senate Bill 513

House Roll Call 644: Passed

To establish regulations and limitations for various forms of yard waste composting, and require specific procedures for the different kinds of operations. Yard clippings at a compost facility for eventual use that follows generally accepted agricultural practices would not defined as “solid waste,” and so would not subject to the more stringent regulations that apply to solid waste. However, yard waste composting facilities would be subject to registration, regulation, reporting requirements, and a $600 fee every three years.
