MS SB2252

Removes the prohibition on disposing of hazardous waste through underground injection methods in Mississippi, which previously banned commercial hazardous waste underground injection wells designed to dispose of multiple waste types from multiple sources

Eliminates the requirement that the Permit Board evaluate whether proposed commercial hazardous waste management facilities conform with the Mississippi Capacity Assurance Plan and interstate or regional agreements when considering permit applications

Removes legislative findings referencing federal Superfund law requirements (CERCLA Section 104(c)(9)) that states demonstrate adequate hazardous waste capacity for 20 years as a condition of receiving federal remedial action funding

Maintains existing protections including the 1,000-foot setback requirement between commercial hazardous waste landfills and ordinary waste disposal sites, and continues to prohibit proliferation of unnecessary facilities in any single county

Takes effect July 1, 2026, with a simultaneous repeal date of June 30, 2026, creating an apparent drafting error that would make the act ineffective
