AN ACT relating to public health; authorizing certain district boards of health to be designated to act as a solid waste
Existing law sets forth provisions governing the collection and disposal of solid waste. (NRS 444.440-444.645) For the purposes of such provisions, existing law defines a “solid waste management authority” to mean: (1) the district board of health in any area in which a health district has been created and, under certain circumstances, certain other areas under the jurisdiction of the board, if the board has adopted certain regulations; and (2) the Division of Environmental Protection of the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, in all other areas of the State and at any site previously used for the production of electricity from a coal-fired electric generating plant. (NRS 444.495) Section 4 of this bill authorizes the Administrator of the Division to designate a district board of health to act as a solid waste management authority or to carry out limited duties of a solid waste management authority if the district board of health: (1) applies to the Administrator for such a designation; (2) demonstrates that the district board of health is capable of carrying out the provisions of existing law relating to solid waste management, as determined by the Administrator; and (3) has adopted certain regulations relating to solid waste management. Section 13.5 of this bill requires the State Environmental Commission to adopt regulations establishing the criteria for a district board of health to demonstrate capability to be designated by the Administrator.
