· Property owners in an unincorporated area that are within a three mile radius to the proposed site.

· If that three-mile radius of the proposed site intersects a municipal corporate boundary, property owners inside the municipal corporate boundary within three hundred feet of the outer boundary of the proposed site are to be notified.

· Property owners within a three hundred foot radius of the outer boundaries of the proposed site if it is in an incorporated area.

Provisions

· The public notification for a hearing in the area of the proposed hazardous waste site is increased from at least two weeks to at least four weeks.
