This amendment incorporates the changes made to House Bill No. 212 by Senate Amendment 1, including, increasing the height restrictions for an industrial landfill from 130 to 140 feet. This amendment also creates a buffer zone between any industrial landfill not incorporated as of January 1, 2020 and any residence, residential community and any school, park, hospital, and wetlands. The amendment also requires that before any permit can be granted for an industrial landfill, the permit applicant must establish that the health, safety and welfare of individuals within the area of the industrial landfill will not be impacted due to run-off by heavy rains or other hazardous weather conditions and pollutants in soil, aquifers or any water supply.
