An Act

to renumber and amend

to create
289.67 (1) (b) 2. of
2
the statutes;
relating to:
retention of environmental repair fees by certain
3
municipal solid waste facilities.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a generator of solid waste must pay an environmental repair fee for each ton of solid waste that is disposed of at a licensed solid waste disposal facility. The owner or operator of a licensed solid waste disposal facility must collect environmental repair fees and pay the collected amounts to the Department of Natural Resources.
Under current law, DNR administers the Clean Water Fund Program (CWFP), which provides financial assistance to municipalities for projects to control water pollution. One type of financial assistance under the CWFP is making loans at or below the market rate interest.
Under this bill, if the owner or operator of a municipal solid waste facility receives a CWFP loan for waste water treatment infrastructure, the owner or operator may retain, of the environmental repair fees it collects, an amount equal to the total principal and interest owed on the loan while the loan is in repayment.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
