Pennsylvania SB454 amends the Solid Waste Management Act by updating the definitions of "drill cuttings" and "hazardous waste." "Drill cuttings" are now defined as rock cuttings and related mineral residues created during well drilling, provided they are disposed of at the well site. "Hazardous waste" is defined as any garbage, refuse, or sludge from various treatment plants or industrial discharges that may harm human health or the environment. The bill also updates permit requirements, ensuring operators must detail compliance with environmental laws in their applications.
