HB 510 -- Hazardous Waste Regulations

Sponsor:  Bruns

This bill eliminates the requirement that generators located
outside the state must register with the Department of Natural
Resources.  The bill requires Missouri treatment, storage, and
disposal facilities to pay a fee equal to $2 per ton or a portion
thereof, not to exceed $52,000 but not less than $150 per site
per year, for all hazardous waste received from outside the
state.  Additionally, payment for any other expenditures which
are not covered under the federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 will be received
by the Hazardous Waste Fund.  Currently, 40% of all moneys
collected by the department pursuant to hazardous waste
regulation is deposited into the Hazardous Waste Remedial Fund
and 60% deposited into the Hazardous Waste Fund.  The bill allows
for all moneys collected to be deposited into the Hazardous Waste
Fund and eliminates the Hazardous Waste Remedial Fund.
