AR Code § 8-6-602 (2020)
2020 Arkansas Code|Title 8 - Environmental Law|Chapter 6 - Disposal of Solid Wastes and Other Refuse|Subchapter 6 - Solid Waste Management and Recycling Fund Act|§ 8-6-602. Legislative findings and intent — Duties of division — Construction

 (a) The General Assembly finds that the solid waste needs of the state are not being met in an efficient, cost-efficient, and environmentally sound manner. The current reliance upon localized landfills is threatening to add Arkansas to those states experiencing solid waste management crises.  (b) The General Assembly concludes that, to the extent practicable, regional solid waste management systems should be developed which address solid waste needs in the context of cooperation and shared resources.  (c)  (1) The General Assembly finds that recycling glass, plastic, cans, paper, and other materials will reduce the state's reliance upon landfills.  (2) Additionally, other solid waste reduction activities will help reduce the state's dependence on landfills, including:  (A) Using waste items as raw materials in a production process, such as adding shingles to asphalt mix for paving;  (B) Using waste items to produce an end product without recycling, such as returning wood chips to citizens as mulch;  (C) Using waste items as fuel, such as burning wood chips or tire chips in a waste-to-fuel process; or  (D) Other activities as approved by the Division of Environmental Quality.    (3) The waste stream reduction activities described in subdivision (c)(2) of this section also curb littering, illegal dumping, and abate the environmental risks caused by current solid waste practices.  (4) The General Assembly therefore mandates that recycling shall be integrated as a component of any solid waste management plan required under the Arkansas Solid Waste Management Act, § 8-6-201 et seq., and that these recycling plans shall be implemented under the terms of this subchapter.    (d) The division and the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission shall promulgate and implement policies, rules, and procedures for administering the terms of this subchapter.  (e) The terms and obligations of this subchapter shall be liberally construed so as to achieve remedial intent.

The plan shall be subject to review and approval by the Division of Environmental Quality.  (b) Pursuant to established procedures, the division may initiate enforcement actions against governmental entities for failure to abide by the requirements of subsection (a) of this section. Enforcement sanctions may include, but are not limited to, denial, discontinuation, or reimbursement of grant funds awarded pursuant to any programs administered by the division.

(d) No more than twenty percent (20%) of the moneys received annually into the fund shall be used by the division for:  (1) The administration of a solid waste management and recycling program;  (2) The administration of a computer and electronic equipment recycling program under § 8-6-613; and  (3) Solid waste management compliance and enforcement activities at landfills and open dumps.

2020 Arkansas Code|Title 8 - Environmental Law|Chapter 6 - Disposal of Solid Wastes and Other Refuse|Subchapter 6 - Solid Waste Management and Recycling Fund Act|§ 8-6-607. Collection of fees

 (a) On or before January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year, each landfill permittee and each solid waste transporter shall:  (1) Submit to the Division of Environmental Quality a quarterly report that accurately states the total weight or volume of solid waste received at the landfill or transported out of state during the quarter just completed; and  (2) Pay to the division the full amount of disposal and transportation fees imposed and collected under this subchapter for the preceding quarter.    (b)  (1) Except as provided in subdivisions (b)(2) and (3) of this section, the disposal and transportation fees collected under this section shall be special revenues and deposited into the State Treasury to the credit of the Solid Waste Management and Recycling Fund for administrative support of the Compliance Advisory Panel.  (2) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the disposal fees collected under subsection (a) of this section from landfills in which a private industry bears the expense of operating and maintaining the landfill solely for the disposal of wastes generated by the private industry shall be deposited quarterly into the Marketing Recyclables Program Fund.  (3) Except for the disposal fees deposited into the Marketing Recyclables Program Fund under subdivision (b)(2) of this section, before disbursing moneys to the regional solid waste management boards, the division shall deposit the following moneys into the following funds each fiscal year:  (A) One hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) into the Crime Information System Fund to be used exclusively for the scrap metal logbook program; and  (B) Three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) into the Arkansas Unpaved Roads Program Fund.

2020 Arkansas Code|Title 8 - Environmental Law|Chapter 6 - Disposal of Solid Wastes and Other Refuse|Subchapter 6 - Solid Waste Management and Recycling Fund Act|§ 8-6-608. Penalties

 Failure of the permittee or solid waste transporter to pay the fees assessed by the Division of Environmental Quality provides grounds for administrative or civil enforcement action. Sanctions may include civil penalties as provided in the Arkansas Solid Waste Management Act, § 8-6-201 et seq., or the revocation of the solid waste disposal or solid waste transporter permit.

AR Code § 8-6-613 (2020)
2020 Arkansas Code|Title 8 - Environmental Law|Chapter 6 - Disposal of Solid Wastes and Other Refuse|Subchapter 6 - Solid Waste Management and Recycling Fund Act|§ 8-6-613. Computer and electronic equipment recycling program

 (a) A program for the recycling of computer and electronic equipment is created.  (b) The General Assembly finds that:  (1) Computer and electronic equipment solid waste are among the fastest growing and most toxic segments of Arkansas's solid waste stream; and  (2) There are recycling options to address this problem, and Arkansas solid waste districts and local governments and their delegated authorities and agents should develop solid waste management plans, programs, and facilities that integrate computer and electronic equipment recycling as a functional part of the solid waste management system.    (c) Each regional solid waste management board that is required to submit or has submitted a regional solid waste management plan under § 8-6-1904 or a solid waste management plan developed under the Arkansas Solid Waste Management Act, § 8-6-201 et seq., and receives funding under this subchapter shall operate a solid waste management system that includes a computer and electronic equipment recycling program.  (d) The Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission may adopt rules necessary to implement an effective computer and electronic equipment recycling program.
AR Code § 8-6-701 (2020)
2020 Arkansas Code|Title 8 - Environmental Law|Chapter 6 - Disposal of Solid Wastes and Other Refuse|Subchapter 7 - Regional Solid Waste Management Districts and Boards|§ 8-6-701. Purpose — Legislative findings — Construction

 The purpose of this subchapter is to protect the public health and the state's environmental quality by establishing regional solid waste management and planning. The current system, relying upon solid waste management by individual counties and municipalities, has fostered present conditions in which certain areas of the state are facing capacity shortages of crisis proportions, while others experience a surfeit of capacity with individual disposal facilities which cannot muster the resources for environmentally responsible operators. Given these disparate environmental and economic concerns, the General Assembly concludes that regional solid waste management and planning, under the oversight of the Division of Environmental Quality and the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission, is essential to address the imminent and future needs of the state. The terms and obligations of this subchapter shall be liberally construed so as to achieve remedial intent.
