Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes the federal Solid Waste Disposal Act to allow certain generators of hazardous waste to store that waste on their own site for up to 2 years. This longer storage period would apply only to generators that do not have year-round surface transportation access to a facility that treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous waste. The waste must be stored in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
