The purpose of this rulemaking is to establish a systematic and comprehensive framework for regulating solid waste facilities and solid waste streams in Arizona. This rulemaking will integrate and implement statutory provisions related to best management practices, self-certification requirements, plan approval procedures, financial assurance requirements, design and operation rules for solid waste facilities, and other topics. The types of facilities that may be affected by this rulemaking include landfills, treatment facilities, transfer facilities, on-site storage facilities, composting facilities, and recycling facilities. The rulemaking will also address the handling of solid waste prior to the point it is received by a solid waste facility.
ADEQ intends to engage stakeholders who will be affected by or who are interested in the establishment of these rules in an informal public participation process prior to filing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking under the state's Administrative Procedure Act. ADEQ commits to work directly with all affected stakeholders throughout the process to ensure that their issues and concerns are consistently understood and considered.
ADEQ anticipates that this informal public participation process will have two phases.
Phase I: Stakeholder Workshops on Regulatory Concepts (Completed)
These facilitated workshops provided background information on the existing solid waste regulatory program and an overview of key rule concepts. Workshop participants were encouraged to provide feedback and raise issues. Below are links to workshop presentation materials and session summaries.
Phase II: Stakeholder Workshops on Draft Rule Text
