Introduced·2/11/26

Connecticut HB05154 revises the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's permitting authority for solid waste facilities.

Connecticut HB05154 modifies the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's permitting authority for solid waste facilities. It allows the commissioner to issue general permits for activities, subject to certain conditions, and mandates that projects cannot start without written approval. The commissioner can impose conditions to protect health and the environment and can suspend permits if necessary. The bill also changes the renewal process for solid waste facility permits, requiring a new application even if the permit is automatically renewed.
