HB 2130 expands the requirement for notice by political subdivisions for any public hearing regarding a hazardous waste facility site to include posting notice of the hearing on the political subdivision’s web site at least four weeks prior to the hearing.
The bill passed the Environment Committee unamended.
ARS section 49-941 states that any agency or political subdivision which is required to select or permit a possible permanent site for any facility designed to permanently store, treat or dispose of any hazardous waste shall send notice to property owners in the following areas:
· Property owners in an unincorporated area that are within a 3 mile radius of the proposed site; if the three-mile radius of the proposed site intersects a municipal boundary, property owners inside the municipal corporate boundary within 300 feet of the outer boundary of the proposed site are to be notified.
· Property owners within a 300 foot radius of the outer boundaries of the proposed site if the proposed site is in an incorporated area.
