Attached is a discussion document for potential changes to the dry cleaner statute to clarify compliance with waste minimization requirements. At the last two advisory committee meetings the committee has discussed compliance with the waste minimization requirements in the dry cleaner statute and linking eligibility to use the dry cleaner environmental response fund to them. It appeared that the group tabled the discussion on linking compliance with eligibility in part because of a lack of clarity around some of the statutory requirements. In the attached document lines struck through the text represent the changes to existing statutory language.
New language is shown underlined.
In addition to possible statutory language, we have included possible rule language that could be adopted to provide explanation to some of the more detailed concepts. For the February 15 th advisory committee meeting, please review these options and come prepared to discuss what you think will make compliance easier to understand. The Department is not wedded to any of the changes described in the attachment. We are looking for your valuable input.
