GA96SB99 96 SB 99 EPA-COMPOSTING FACILITIES Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Redefines the term "compost" to mean compostable material that has, by composting, decomposed to the degree that it will not, when subjected to optimal thermal conditions and optimal levels of oxygen, moisture, and nutrients, reheat significantly due to the action of microorganisms, and that is also suitable (i) for use as a soil conditioner, (ii) for use as a cover material for a municipal solid waste landfill, or (iii) for another use approved by the Agency (now, the humus-like product of the process of composting waste, which may be used as a soil conditioner). Redefines the term "composting" to mean the decomposition of compostable material into compost by a biological process that produces carbon dioxide and water as primary by-products (now, the biological treatment process by which microorganisms decompose the organic fraction of waste, producing compost). Excepts food scrap from the definition of the term "garbage". Exempts certain types of facilities, sites, portions of facilities, and portions of sites from regulation as pollution control facilities. Defines "compostable material" and "food scrap". Effective immediately. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=99&GAID=10&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=40422&SessionID=76&GA=96 2009-08-13 00:00:00 Senate Public Act . . . . . . . . . 96-0418 1 62 2009-08-13 00:00:00 Senate Effective Date January 1, 2010 0 61 2009-08-13 00:00:00 Senate Governor Approved 0 60 2009-06-17 00:00:00 Senate Sent to the Governor 0 59 2009-05-19 00:00:00 Senate Passed Both Houses 0 58 2009-05-19 00:00:00 House Third Reading - Short Debate - Passed 078-036-001 1 57 2009-05-19 00:00:00 House Added Alternate Co-Sponsor Rep.
