AI Summary

  • Adds septage waste from onsite wastewater treatment systems (hauled by licensed servicers) as an eligible feedstock for methane digesters under the renewable energy resource definition.

  • Maintains all existing renewable energy resource definitions including biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, landfill gas, and other eligible sources without substantive changes beyond the addition of septage waste.
