| Program Description |

|Municipal Solid Waste Management |

| |

|The solid waste program in the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Resource Management Division (RMD), is responsible for administration of Part |

|115, Solid Waste Management, Part 169, Scrap Tires, Part 173, Electronics, and Part 195, Environmental Protection Bond Implementation, of Michigan’s Natural |

|Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA). It oversees construction permits and operating licenses for municipal and industrial |

|non-hazardous solid waste disposal facilities. These facilities include landfills, transfer stations, and processing plants. Oversight of the storage, |

|transportation, and recycling of scrap tires is also managed by the solid waste program. Through the scrap tire program, local governments are encouraged to submit|

|applications for funding for cleanup, removal, and proper disposal or recycling of abandoned scrap tires. Both the RMD Field Operations and Enforcement Sections |

|are responsible for compliance activities and civil and administrative enforcement activities (including the scrap tire program). Enforcement actions against |

|criminal violators are the responsibility of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Environmental Investigations Section (EIS), and the Michigan |

|Department of Attorney General (DAG) and local prosecutors. Solid waste staff also assists the 68 designated planning agencies within the 83 counties with solid |

|waste planning. The recently enacted electronics device manufacturer and recycler registration requirements are also administered by the solid waste program staff.|

| |

|There are two basic types of solid waste landfills in Michigan and they are licensed as either Type II or Type III landfills. There are currently 49 Type II |

|municipal waste landfills and 24 Type III non-hazardous industrial, special, or construction and demolition debris landfills in the state. In FY10, the total solid|

|waste disposed in Michigan landfills was reported at 46,124,156 cubic yards. |

| Medical Waste Management |

| |

|The Medical Waste Regulatory Program (MWRP) administers and enforces Michigan's Medical Waste Regulatory Act (MWRA), and the rules adopted pursuant to the Act |

|(). The MWRA provides regulations for the handling, storage, treatment, and |

|disposal of medical waste. Its objective is to protect people who come into contact with medical waste from exposure to the risk of injury, infection, or disease |

|created from improperly disposed medical waste. The MWRA mandates how facilities producing medical waste must manage their medical waste from the point at which it|

|is generated to its ultimate disposal. The transportation of medical waste is regulated under U.S. Department of Transportation regulations for transportation of |

|hazardous materials and enforced by the Michigan Department of State Police, Hazardous Materials and Investigations Unit. Administration of these regulations and |

|compliance activities are the responsibility of the DEQ, RMD, medical waste staff. Enforcement of these regulations is by the RMD Enforcement Section, DNR, and |

|DAG. Guidance on the implementation of the program can be found at . Approximately |

|13,000 generators of medical waste are required to register as producing facilities under the MWRA (Part 138, Act 368). The DEQ maintains a website at |

|. |

| |

| |

|Construction & Demolition and Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste Management |

| |

|Non-hazardous industrial wastes are sent to licensed Type III landfills. A Type III landfill can be a construction and demolition landfill, low-hazard industrial |

|waste landfill, surface impoundment, or landfill that accepts non-hazardous industrial wastes. There are 2 Type III C&D landfills, 2 surface impoundments, 5 Type |

|III Industrial Waste landfills, which includes 2 Type III Existing Industrial landfills, 14 Type III Low-Hazard Industrial Waste landfills, and 1 landfill |

|permitted as both a Type III C& D landfill and a Type III Industrial Waste landfill in Michigan. Construction and demolition waste can be disposed of at either a |

|Type II MSW landfill accepting residential and commercial waste or a Type III construction and demolition waste landfill. |

|Electronic Waste Take Back Program |

| |

|The Electronic Waste Takeback Program was established in 2008 as part of a law promoting electronic waste recycling. The law requires manufacturers who sell new |

|TVs and computers to register with DEQ, have a free and convenient take-back program for households and small businesses (< 10 employees), maintain a website and |

|inform consumers how to recycle TVs and computers, and submit annual information on the program (# of units collected, names of collection or recycling businesses |

|involved). The program also requires retailers to sell only new computers and TVs produced by registered manufacturers. Recyclers of TV and computers must |

|register with DEQ, comply with federal and state recycling laws, and annually report the amount of recycled material and the names and locations of recycling |

|facilities under their direct control in Michigan who processed the recycled equipment. As of August 2011 there were 20 registered electronic waste recyclers and |

|71 registered manufacturers. The DEQ maintains a web site at . |

|Composting |

| |

|The Part 115, Solid Waste regulations include registration requirements, location, and operational standards for yard clippings (leaves, grass, and brush) |

|composting facilities. Registered composting facilities are subject to a $600 registration fee every 3 years. Additionally, facilities are required to submit |

|annual reports containing information on the amount of yard clippings and other compostable materials managed during the previous fiscal year. Information about |

|the program can be found at . The management of other organic materials such as food waste is regulated |

|under Part 115 administrative rules. Currently there are no permits, registrations, location, or operational requirements for composting material exempt from the |

|definition of solid waste such as food waste, wood, paper, compostable plastic, and manure. The DEQ is in the process of updating the administrative rules for |

|composting. More information can be found at by clicking on “Solid Waste” then Solid Waste Compost And |

|Inert Rules Work Group. |

|Scrap Tire Management |

| |

|The Scrap Tire Program is charged with responsibility for ensuring the proper disposal of scrap tires generated in the state as well as cleanup of abandoned scrap |

|tires and existing piles with 500 or more scrap tires. The Scrap Tire Program also administers two registration programs: Scrap Tire Collection Site |

|Registrations and Scrap Tire Hauler Registration. Program staff regularly inspects auto scrap yards. |

| |

|Inspection of scrap tire collection sites includes collection of mosquito larval samples for analysis by the Department of Community Health to ensure that a site |

|is not creating an unhealthy living environment for the community. Funding for the program comes from a $1.50 surcharge on vehicle title fees charged by the |

|Secretary of State. Program costs are also offset by a $200 Scrap Tire Collection Site registration fee. The funding provides staff salaries and Scrap Tire |

|Cleanup Grants for removal and processing of existing piles. It also provides funding for Scrap Tire Market Development Grants to increase the markets for scrap |

|tires. |

|Designated County Solid Waste Planning Agencies |

| |

|There are 68 County Solid Waste Planning Agencies. Part 115 of NREPA requires every county to have a solid waste management plan to ensure that all |

|non-hazardous solid waste generated is collected, processed, or disposed of at compliant facilities for a ten year period. The first plans were required to be |

|submitted by January 6, 1984, and plans are to be updated every five years. The first five-year update process began in January 1987, with the objective of |

|completing the updates by January 1989. The second five-year update cycle started in 1997 after the cycle was delayed several times to provide an opportunity |

|to consider legislative changes to Part 115 and its Administrative Rules. The first Plan during this cycle was approved in July 1999 and the final Plan was |

|approved in October 2003. The third five-year update cycle was scheduled to start in 2002; however, it has continued to be delayed due to budget constraints |

|and because the DEQ has been pursuing amendments to Part 115 as determined to be necessary based on stakeholder workgroup recommendations regarding solid waste |

|planning and disposal area siting provisions. |

| |

|The county board of commissioners or municipality is responsible for appointing the 14-member solid waste management planning committee. In a charter county |

|with an elected county executive, the county executive appoints the planning committee members if the county opts to prepare the plan. Appendix C-3 of the plan|

|format covers the appointment of planning committee members. |

| |

|Under the current planning process, each county must demonstrate adequate capacity for disposal of waste generated in the county for both 5 and 10 years. To |

|demonstrate capacity, a county must either; 1) list specific sites for disposal of the amount of waste generated within the county for the period, or 2) list |

|the capacity at specific sites and have an objective criteria-based siting process and an annual capacity certification process. If a county is unable to |

|demonstrate at least 66 months of capacity, the siting process is triggered and the county must designate or identify additional capacity. |

| Enforcement Activities |

|Types of Enforcement Actions |

|1. Compliance communication or violation notice – DEQ may send multiple letters identifying violations and seeking compliance with identified violations requesting|

|corrective measures and documentation. Multiple letters, if necessary, are part of a progressive compliance and enforcement process. |

|2. Enforcement Notice – DEQ letter after a referral of significant or unresolved non-compliance/violations to the Enforcement Section giving notice of escalated |

|enforcement to the facility owner/operator. |

|3. Enforcement Order – DEQ may negotiate a fast track consent order or make a referral to the DAG to negotiate an administrative consent order which may or may not|

|include stipulated penalties (consistent with internal penalty guidance). |

|4. DEQ may refer potential criminal cases to the DNR, EIS. |

|Inspection Cycles |

| |

|There were a total of 304 compliance inspections in FY 2010 by the Solid Waste Program. |

|Notice of Violation Process |

| |

|Solid waste program staff performs inspections. Based on inspection findings, compliance history, potential criminal investigation and the extent of violations |

|among other factors, an inspector may chose to issue a compliance communication or violation notice. Depending on the response, and results from a potential |

|re-inspection if non-compliance/violations continues a second violation notice may be issued. If violations are not corrected after a second violation notice and |

|after conferring with the district supervisor, field operations chief, and enforcement section chief, staff may refer the facility for escalated enforcement. |

|State Solid Waste Policy |

|General Overview |

|The Solid Waste Policy was adopted in 1988 amid concerns of limited landfill space. Changing laws and regulations, emerging technology, and economic considerations|

|have driven a desire to improve solid waste management in the state. It also prompted stakeholders to recommend that DEQ revisit and update the Solid Waste Policy.|

| |

| |

|The 2007 update to the Solid Waste Policy provides a framework to guide citizens, businesses, government agencies, institutions, universities, and political leaders|

|in making smart choices for managing solid wastes by viewing solid waste as a resource in a global economy. The policy uses the three principles of sustainability |

|to guide decisions: economic vitality, ecological integrity, and improved quality of life. The Policy embodies the consensus agreement of stakeholders on the Solid|

|Waste Policy Advisory Committee (SWPAC), a group of representatives from local governments, the environmental community, and the solid waste and recycling |

|industries. The Policy encourages a deliberate and inclusive solid waste management decision-making process and recommends goals. These goals include finding uses|

|for 50% of municipal solid waste by 2015 and ensuring that all citizens have convenient access to residential recycling programs by 2012. The policy recommended |

|future stakeholder meetings to help guide the implementation of the policy and to facilitate sustainable waste management practices. This recommendation resulted |

|in the creation of the Solid Waste Advisory committee which is comprised of diverse stakeholders and meets 6 times per year. |

|Perpetual Care Account—Solid Waste Management Fund |

| |

|Part 115 established a solid waste management fund within the state Treasury with a solid waste staff account and perpetual care account. The solid waste staff |

|account is used for a variety of solid waste programmatic infrastructure and support needs. The perpetual care account is used for conducting closure or |

|post-closure maintenance and monitoring or corrective action at sites where the owner or operator has failed to do so. |

|Website |

| |

|State Owned Sites Cleanup Program |

| |

|In July 1996, PA 380 amended Part 201, Environmental Remediation, of the NREPA, by creating the State Sites Cleanup Fund (Fund) and the State Sites Cleanup |

|Program. Its intent is to fund environmental cleanups at contaminated sites where the state is a liable party as an owner or operator of the site, as described in|

|Section 20126 of Part 201. |

| |

|Section 20108c of Part 201 provided a process for the expenditure of $20 million that was originally appropriated under 1994 PA 265. The Fund was augmented by an |

|additional appropriation of $10m in FY 1997 and again in FY 2002, when the Department of Management and Budget repaid $965,002 that had been spent for remediation |

|of the Clinton Valley Center in Oakland County prior to its sale. In 2005 the Legislature, in PA 11 of 2005, appropriated $5m in interest earned from the Fund |

|from 1996 through 2004 for use in the program. In 2011 the Legislature, in PA 63 of 2011, appropriated an additional $4.4 million in accrued interest and |

|previously lapsed funds. |

| |

|Under Section 20126 of Part 201, each state executive department and agency is required annually to provide DEQ with a list of all facilities for which they are |

|liable as an owner operator. The Brownfield Redevelopment Board (Board), created under 1996 PA 383 and composed of directors of the DTMB and DEQ, and the |

|President of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, meets each year to prioritize the funding allocations for the cleanups. The site allocations are |

|prioritized based on the degree of health or environmental risk and/or by resale or redevelopment potential at the sites. |

|Solid Waste Alternatives Program (SWAP) |

| |

|Under the provisions of Part 195, Environmental Protection Bond Implementation, of the NREPA, the Solid Waste Alternatives Program (SWAP) provided grants totaling |

|$18,713,558 to 69 municipalities to close local, unlicensed landfills or dumps that were still operating in 1988. |

| |

|The Municipal Landfill Cost-Share Grant Program reimbursed up to 50 percent of eligible response activity costs incurred by local units of government at municipal |

|solid waste landfills listed on the Superfund National Priorities List or nominated for listing by July 23, 1997. All of the $18 million appropriated for this |

|program has been awarded pursuant to Section 9a of Part 201 and expended by local units of government. Containment and cleanup was conducted at 11 landfills. |

| |

|Additionally, the Superfund Program is managing the response activities at 21 landfills using a variety of state, federal, and private resources. The status of |

|these sites is summarized in the annual legislative report, available on the Web at . |

|Emerging Issues |

| |

|Funding – DEQ’s program is currently funded based on a $0.21/ton surcharge on waste disposal. With waste disposal volumes down ~25% due to the economic downturn, and |

|continued success of efforts to reduce, beneficially reuse, and recycle waste, less waste is being disposed and less revenue is being generated to support the program. |

|This situation has forced the state to utilize funds out of the State’s perpetual care account to fill operating budget shortfalls. This fund will be depleted after |

|FY11, and a fee increase has been proposed to help fill the budget gap. To minimize the impacts of the funding challenges ahead, the DEQ implemented a program |

|reduction in December 2010, resulting in a loss of approximately 25 percent of program staff. |

| |

|In addition to less revenue for the state, the economic downturn has also meant less income for operators, resulting in less capital available for expansions and new |

|construction as well as funds for closure, post-closure, and corrective action. As a result, several smaller, privately-owned landfills do not have adequate funds to |

|comply with regulations and are considering selling their facilities. |

| |

|Under the appropriations act for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2011, the DEQ is required to develop a report on implementation of the state’s Solid Waste Policy.|

|The report is required to identify options for long-term funding of the program, and to assess the feasibility of contracting out landfill inspections. The report is |

|due June 30, 2012. |

|Financial Assurance Challenges – DEQ lost their financial assurance coordinator position, a dedicated staff responsible for evaluating financial assurance requirements |

|for landfills, processors and transfer stations. These financial assurance instruments are updated annually and ensure that the owner/operator has sufficient funds for|

|closure, post-closure activities, and potential corrective action. A workgroup was formed with local government and industry to evaluate current financial assurance |

|requirements and recommend improvements to both the mechanisms and existing infrastructure. This workgroup should have its report, including any recommendations to the|

|legislature, completed this fall. |

|Beneficial Use – DEQ has made a number of guidance, exemptions, designations and interpretations to facilitate the beneficial use of solid wastes such as tires, |

|shingles, foundry sand and coal ash. With the economic downturn, many facilities which were successfully diverting these materials for reuse in beneficial use markets |

|have begun to speculatively accumulate these materials in stockpiles which are larger than their exemption allows. This has led to violation notices and enforcement. |

|DEQ would like to continue supporting beneficial use of solid wastes and byproducts, but would like to avoid large accumulations of these materials which may end up |

|being abandoned and require state funded clean-up. |

| |

|Rule Packages – A rules package is under development to eliminate the exemption that allows residential trash burning in burn barrels. The joint rule (air and waste) |

|is currently being reevaluated by stakeholders in light of legislative opposition. More information can be found at: |

|. |

| |

|Another rule package is under development to amend the composting and inertness provisions. The goal is to promote beneficial use by amending the inertness criteria, |

|allowing for self-implementing beneficial use of certain industrial by-products, and allowing for the composting and land application of additional wastes (i.e., food |

|waste, foundry sand, coal ash, etc). A public hearing was held on December 6, 2010 on the proposed rules. RMD is currently working with stakeholders to address |

|concerns prior to advancing the rule package. More information can be found at the following website: |

| |

|Recommendations for USEPA |

|DEQ made the following recommendations for EPA assistance: |

| |

|Technical and economic evaluation of conversion technologies (i.e., gasification, plasma-arc, etc.) being proposed for mixed municipal solid wastes. These |

|technologies are designed to produce biofuels or other energy sources. A national evaluation of these technologies for managing mixed MSW would assist DEQ and |

|local governments in their evaluations of proposals. |

|Maintain list serves for scrap tires, recycling market development, beneficial use and municipal solid waste landfills. These peer to peer exchanges assist greatly |

|as they facilitate learning from other states with similar issues and screening of new technologies and companies. |

|Maintain the RCC Scrap Tire Workgroup as this has been one of the most successful collaborative efforts between the EPA, states, and industry stakeholders. This |

|group has a very good working relationship and communications between the members is strong. |
