§ 35-11-1106. Limitation on civil penalties; voluntary reports of violations
Status: in_force

(a) If an owner or operator of a facility regulated under this act voluntarily reports to the department a violation disclosed by the audit conducted under W.S. 35-11-1105 within sixty (60) days of the completion date of the audit, the department shall not seek civil penalties or injunctive relief for the violation reported unless:

(i) The facility is under investigation for any violation of this act at the time the violation is reported;

(ii) The owner or operator does not take action to eliminate the violation within the time frame specified in an order affirmed by the council or otherwise made final pursuant to W.S. 35-11-701(c)(ii) ;

(iii) The violation is the result of gross negligence or recklessness; or

(iv) The department has assumed primacy over a federally delegated environmental law and a waiver of penalty authority would result in a state program less stringent than the federal program or the waiver would violate any federal rule or regulation required to maintain state primacy. If a federally delegated program requires the imposition of a penalty for a violation, the voluntary disclosure of the violation shall to the extent allowed under federal law or regulation, be considered a mitigating factor in determining the penalty amount.

(b) Reporting a violation is mandatory if required by this act, any departmental rule or regulation, federal law or regulation, local ordinance or resolution, any order of the council or by any court and is therefore not voluntary under this section.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, injunctive relief may be sought under W.S. 35-11-115 .

(d) The elimination of administrative or civil penalties under this section does not apply if a person or entity has been found by a court to have committed serious violations that constitute a pattern of continuous or repeated violations of environmental laws, rules, regulations, permit conditions, settlement agreements or orders on consent and that were due to separate and distinct events giving rise to the violations, within the three (3) year period prior to the date of the disclosure. A pattern of continuous or repeated violations may also be demonstrated by multiple settlement agreements related to substantially the same alleged violations concerning serious instances of noncompliance with environmental laws that occurred within the three (3) year period immediately prior to the date of the voluntary disclosure.

§ 35-11-528. Municipal solid waste facilities cease and transfer program created; criteria for grants and loans; loan terms; availability of other state funding sources
Status: in_force

(a) There is created the municipal solid waste facilities cease and transfer program. Grants and loans under the program shall be awarded by the state loan and investment board. The program shall be administered by the solid and hazardous waste division of the department of environmental quality with the input of the waste and water advisory board as provided in W.S. 35-11-528 through 35-11-531 .

(b) Grants and loans shall be made from the municipal solid waste facilities cease and transfer accounts for all cease and transfer activities as provided in this section and by rule and regulation of the board. Grants and loans shall be made for:

(i) Capping of a closed landfill;

(ii) Other closure related expenses including engineering, geological and other professional services;

(iii) Construction or acquisition of appropriate solid waste transfer facilities and equipment, including acquisition of real property.

(c) Total costs of cease and transfer activities for a municipal solid waste facility shall be determined by the department in consultation with the local municipal solid waste facility operator. Grants shall be awarded in an amount determined by the state loan and investment board after consultation with the department and pursuant to the criteria contained in subsection (d) of this section. A municipal solid waste facility which is ceasing operations shall be eligible to receive loans for the costs of cease and transfer activities not funded by a grant pursuant to subsection (e) of this section.

(d) Except as provided in subsection (h) of this section, grants and loans for cease and transfer activities shall be awarded in an amount determined by the state loan and investment board not to exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the total cost of all cease and transfer activities of the municipal solid waste facility. The state loan and investment board shall base its determination of the percentage of grants and loans awarded for cease and transfer projects under the program on an equitable distribution of available funds among eligible municipal solid waste landfills and rules and regulations adopted pursuant to W.S. 35-11-530 . To be eligible for funding under the program the following criteria shall be met:

(i) The local operator enters into a written agreement with the department to meet all regulatory obligations under the program;

(ii) The local operator implements and revises the community's solid waste management plan as necessary to comply with all regulatory obligations;

(iii) The local operator ceases disposal of all municipal solid waste streams at the closed municipal solid waste facility;

(iv) The local operator conforms to the requirements of W.S. 35-11-532 ;

(v) The local operator:

(A) Ceases disposal into units and facilities regulated under this article which do not have engineered containment systems or do not conform to performance based design standards; or

(B) Obtains department approval, that shall include a time period determined appropriate by the department for operation, to:

(I) Transfer and dispose municipal solid waste into permitted units and facilities regulated by the department which do not have engineered containment systems or do not conform to performance based design standards, for the purpose of closing the facility that is transferring municipal solid waste; and

(II) Increase the rate at which municipal solid waste is accepted for disposal into permitted units and facilities regulated by the department which do not have engineered containment systems or do not conform to performance based design standards, for the purpose of promoting the early closure of the receiving facility or facilities. If the department grants approval under this subparagraph the receiving facility shall not be allowed to enlarge or extend the life of its facility except in furtherance of becoming a facility with an engineered containment system or conforming to performance based design standards.

(e) Loans may be made under the program at zero interest rate, up to an annual interest rate equal to the average prime interest rate as determined in accordance with this subsection. Loans provided under the program shall be adequately collateralized as determined by the state loan and investment board. Principal and interest payments shall be deposited in the budget reserve account. The state loan and investment board shall establish interest rates to be charged for loans under the program, but the interest rate shall not exceed an annual interest rate equal to the average prime interest rate as determined by the state treasurer. To determine the average prime interest rate, the state treasurer shall average the prime interest rate for at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the thirty (30) largest banks in the United States. The interest rate shall be adjusted on January 1 of each year. Interest rates shall be established in recognition of the repayment abilities and needs of the local municipal solid waste facility operator eligible for loans under the program. The state loan and investment board shall establish loan amortization schedules, terms and conditions for each loan approved based on an applicant's need, financial condition of the landfill operator or the entity responsible for solid waste funding, the projected life of the transfer facility and the ability of that entity to repay the loan in a timely manner.

(f) Participation in the program shall not restrict funding for a municipal solid waste facility from any other program created or supported by the state.

(g) Funds under the program shall not be expended on:

(i) Salaries or benefits for employees of the municipal solid waste facility;

(ii) Long-term monitoring at a closed municipal solid waste facility or a closed cell of a still operating municipal solid waste facility;

(iii) Operational costs of municipal solid waste facilities.

(h) Upon a showing that a local operator has exhausted all reasonably available funding sources, the director may recommend to the state loan and investment board funding in the form of grants and loans for up to one hundred percent (100%) of the total cost of cease and transfer activities of the municipal solid waste facility. In addition to the requirements contained in subsection (d) of this section, the state loan and investment board shall base its determination of a grant or loan award under this subsection on whether the local operator:

(i) Has any additional funding sources reasonably available to allocate to project costs;

(ii) Is charging sufficient gate or use fees to fully fund the operational costs of transfer facilities constructed under the program.
