MN SF3003

Modifies solid waste disposal facility rules to require site-specific criteria based on groundwater contamination sensitivity, including predicted minimum time of travel of contaminants to compliance boundary and prohibition of landfills in karst-prone areas.

Establishes permit exceptions for facilities initially permitted before January 1, 2011, construction and demolition debris facilities, industrial waste facilities, and permit-by-rule facilities that are not subject to new siting and financial assurance requirements.

Implements a moratorium on new solid waste disposal facility permits until updated rules are adopted, with exceptions for existing facility reissuance, expansions within 600 yards, construction debris facilities, boiler ash disposal facilities, and mineral extraction facilities.

Requires solid waste disposal facilities to maintain financial assurance for as long as they pose potential environmental risk to human health or the environment, as determined by empirical assessment.

Directs the Pollution Control Agency to consult with stakeholders within six months on financial assurance adequacy for solid waste facilities, including environmental risks, duration of assurance needed, and reliability of financial mechanisms.
