prior approval for the construction or expansion of a mu-
nicipal solid waste incinerator, unless the applicant for the
permit or other approval demonstrates, and the State
finds, that the following requirements are met:
‘‘(1) The applicant shall conduct a waste com-
position analysis of the solid waste generated in a
year within the area to be served by the facility and
shall demonstrate that it will continue to conduct
such a waste composition analysis annually. Each
entity from which the facility plans to accept waste
also shall conduct a waste composition analysis of
the solid waste generated in a year by the persons
from whom the entity collects waste and shall dem-
onstrate that it will continue to conduct such a
waste composition analysis annually. Any such waste
composition analysis shall be conducted in compli-
ance with the regulations promulgated under sub-
section (c).
‘‘(2) Each entity from which the facility plans
to accept waste shall demonstrate that it has di-
verted during calendar year 2000, and will continue
to divert for each subsequent year, to waste manage-
ment methods other than incineration and landfilling
the following percentages of the total amount of
each of the following materials generated annually
by the persons from whom the entity collects waste:
‘‘(A) Glass, 65 percent.
‘‘(B) Newspapers, 65 percent.
‘‘(C) Other paper, 65 percent.
‘‘(D) Metals, 80 percent.
‘‘(E) Plastic containers, 50 percent.
‘‘(F) Yard waste, 90 percent.

istrator (at least 1⁄2) of the percentages of the mate-
rials specified in subparagraphs (A) through (G).
‘‘(3) The applicant shall demonstrate that—
‘‘(A) the facility will not interfere with
maintaining the diversion rates set forth in
paragraph (2) for each entity from which the
facility plans to accept waste; and
‘‘(B) in any case in which a diversion rate
by an entity from which the facility plans to ac-
cept waste is higher than the rate set forth in
paragraph (2), the facility will not interfere
with maintaining the higher diversion rate.
‘‘(4) The applicant shall demonstrate that it is
not feasible to manage the remaining solid waste
through source reduction, reuse, or recycling.
‘‘(5) The applicant shall demonstrate that the
facility will not adversely affect the environment or
human health as a consequence of—
‘‘(A) exposure to air emissions or inciner-
ator ash through inhalation;
‘‘(B) ingestion of food contaminated by air
emissions or incinerator ash as a consequence
of incorporation of such ash or emissions into
the food chain;
‘‘(C) ingestion of potable water or aquatic
organisms contaminated by surface water dis-
charges, surface runoff, leaching, or percolation
of air emissions or incinerator ash into ground
water or surface water;

facility will not harm the local economy, including a
demonstration that it will not negatively affect prop-
erty values.
‘‘(8) The applicant shall demonstrate that the
full cost of the facility over its entire life, including
capital costs, debt service, liability insurance, reme-
diation, and long-term operation and maintenance
expenses, will be less costly than reducing, recycling,
or composting waste.
‘‘(9) The Federal agency, State or local govern-
ment, or other waste management jurisdiction shall
conduct a full public participation process, including
public hearings, to address the proposed facility. As
part of the process, the applicant shall provide to
local community groups concerned about the project
a technical assistance grant of at least $50,000. The
applicant shall renew the grant every six months
after the initial grant is made until the date on
which final action is completed by each Federal
agency, State or local government, or other waste
management jurisdiction on each permit for con-
struction or expansion of the facility.
