Illinois HB5541 amends the Environmental Protection Act to establish permitting requirements for organic waste composting operations and anaerobic digesters. It creates exemptions for small-scale and certain farm-based composting operations that meet volume limits, setback distances, and other environmental safeguards. The bill also clarifies that anaerobic digesters using only non-waste feedstock are exempt from solid waste permitting, and that digested material returned to the economic mainstream is not regulated as waste.
