The Texas Department of Health proposes amend-
ments to 91325.1-325.7, 325.21, 325.24, 325.31,
325.32, 325.34, 325.42, 325.72, 325.92-325.95,
325.181, 325.183, 325.271-325.274, 325.295,
325.299, 325.332, 325.335, 325.336, and
325.340. At the same time, the department proposes
the repeal of I325.51-325.60, 325.71,
325.73-325.75, 325.91, 325.111, 325.121-
325.136, 325.151-325.161, 325.171, 325.221,
325.222,325.361-325.365,325.901,325.902, and
325.905-325.913. In addition, the department pro-
poses new 9325.51-325.62, 325.71, 325.73-
325.75, 325.91, 325.111-325.113, 325.121-
325.123, 325.131-325.154, 325.171-325.173,
325.221, 325.222, 325.901, 325.902, 325.905,
and 325.906. The proposed amendments, repeals,
and new rules concern municipal solid waste manage-
ment. Specifically, the department proposes to clarify
definitions, redefine terms, establish new definitions,
better define what the department considers to be a
storage facility, strengthen the rules regarding collec-
tion of municipal solid waste, and update the classifi-cations of municipal solid waste facilities. In the area
of permit application procedures, the department pro-
poses to offer the opportunity for a public hearing
rather than require that one be held for permit applica-
tions; offer the option of conducting a public hearing
on land use alone to determine a site's compatibility
prior to expensive engineering design work; update
facility design standards (i.e., groundwater monitor-
ing) to incorporate state-of-the-art technology; clarify
the Bureau of Solid Waste Menagoment's responsibil-
ities in the permit application review process; and
allow permit exemptions for trench burners regulated
under the rules of the Texas Air Control Board and for
land application sates making beneficial use of mun,-
cipal wastewater treatment plant sludges. Finally, the
department proposes to update facility operational
standards, particularly in ground and surface water
protection, special wastes, screening activities from
view, site completion and closure procedures, and
post-closure maintenance, clarify enforcement and
surveillance policy, and repeal tables containing listing
and characteristics of hazardous waste to allow the
department to respond quickly to EPA additions or
deletions to these tables without going through a rule
amendment process
Hector H. Mendleta, P E , Permits Division director,
has determined that for the first five-year period the
rules will be in effect there will be no fiscal implica-
tions to state or local government as a result of en-
forcing or administering the rules
Mr. Mendleta has also determined that for each year
of the first five years the rules as proposed are in ef-
fect the public benefit anticipated as a result of en-
forcing the rules as proposed will be flexibility to ex-
pedite the permit application decision-making process
at less cost to all concerned when proposed options
are exercised; an improved capability to detect
groundwater pollution from leachate; and improved
standards for collection and facility operations which
will better protect public health and the environment.
There is no anticipated economic cost to individuals
who are required to comply with the rules as pro-
posed.
