2023 Maine Revised Statutes › TITLE 38: WATERS AND NAVIGATION › Chapter 23: COASTAL AND LAKE WATERSHED DISTRICTS › 38 §2003. Approval and organization

§2003. Approval and organization
When the residents of the municipality or each municipality, when more than one is involved, or the unorganized territory within the proposed watershed district have voted upon the formation of a proposed watershed district and all of the other questions submitted therewith, the clerk of each municipality and, when the proposed district includes unorganized territory, the county clerk shall make a return to the commissioner in such form as the commissioner determines. If the commissioner finds from the returns that a majority of the residents within each of the municipalities involved and, when the proposed district includes unorganized territory, that a majority of the residents of the unorganized territory within the proposed watershed district, voting on each of the articles and questions submitted to them, have voted in the affirmative and have elected the necessary trustees and the names of those elected to represent each municipality, or the residents of the unorganized territory within the proposed watershed district, that each participating water district has appointed a trustee as provided by section 2002, subsection 6‑A, and that all other steps in the formation of the proposed watershed district are in order and in conformity with law, the commissioner shall make a finding to that effect and record the same upon departmental records. The commissioner shall, immediately after making findings, issue a certificate of organization in the name of the watershed district in such form as the commissioner determines. The original certificate must be delivered to the trustees on the day that they are directed to organize and a copy of the certificate duly attested by the commissioner must be filed and recorded in the Office of the Secretary of State. The issuance of that certificate by the commissioner is conclusive evidence of the lawful organization of the watershed district. The watershed district is not operative until the date set by the commissioner under section 2006.   [PL 1989, c. 106, §4 (AMD); PL 1989, c. 890, Pt. A, §40 (AFF); PL 1989, c. 890, Pt.

§2132. State goals
1.  State recycling goal.
It is the goal of the State to recycle or compost, by January 1, 2021, 50% of the municipal solid waste tonnage generated each year within the State.
[PL 2015, c. 461, §2 (AMD).]
1-A.  State waste reduction goal.
[PL 2015, c. 461, §3 (RP).]
1-B.  State waste disposal reduction goal.
It is the goal of the State to reduce the statewide per capita disposal rate of municipal solid waste tonnage to 0.55 tons disposed per capita by January 1, 2019 and to further reduce the statewide per capita disposal rate by an additional 5% every 5 years thereafter. The baseline for calculating this reduction is the 2014 solid waste generation and disposal capacity data gathered by the department.
[PL 2015, c. 461, §4 (NEW).]
2.  Goal revision.
The department shall recommend revisions, if appropriate, to the state recycling goal and waste disposal reduction goal established in this section. The department shall submit its recommendations and any implementing legislation to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over natural resource matters.
[PL 2015, c. 461, §5 (AMD).]
3.  Beneficial use of waste.
The use of waste paper, waste plastics, waste wood, including wood from demolition debris, used motor vehicle tires or corrugated cardboard as a fuel in industrial boilers or waste-to-energy facilities for the generation of heat, steam or electricity constitutes recycling only for the purposes of determining whether the goals in subsection 1 are met and for determining municipal progress as provided in section 2133. In order for the use of waste under this subsection to constitute recycling, the department must determine that there is no reasonably available market in the State for recycling that waste and the wastes must be incinerated as a substitute for, or supplement to, fossil or biomass fuels incinerated in the industrial boiler or waste-to-energy facility.
[PL 2011, c. 655, Pt. GG, §32 (AMD); PL 2011, c. 655, Pt. GG, §70 (AFF).]
4.  Reduction in dioxin.
It is the policy of the State to reduce the total release of dioxin and mercury to the environment with the goal of its continued minimization and, where feasible, ultimate elimination.
