(a) As part of the existing regulatory review process for regulations adopted pursuant to this article, the board may consider whether the operational requirements that apply to nonhazardous wood waste landfills should differ from the operational requirements that apply to other categories of solid waste landfills, such as those used for the disposal of municipal solid waste. If the board determines that the operational requirements that apply to nonhazardous wood waste landfills should differ from the operational requirements that apply to other categories of solid waste landfills, such as those used for the disposal of municipal solid waste, the board shall revise its regulations accordingly. (b) For the purposes of this section, “nonhazardous wood waste landfill” means a landfill that exclusively accepts untreated bark, sawdust, shavings, and chips that are the byproducts of primary wood product manufacturing and processes that are not used as raw material and that are destined for disposal. “Nonhazardous wood waste landfill” does not include any landfill that accepts chemically treated or adulterated bark, sawdust, shavings, and chips that are the byproducts of primary wood product manufacturing and processes that are not used as raw material and that are destined for disposal. (c) Nothing in this section is intended to authorize the board to adopt regulations which are less stringent than those adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to Part 256 (commencing with Section 256.01) of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
