The Department of Environmental Quality proposed to amend La. Admin. Code tit. 33:VII.115, 513, 521, 711, 713, 715, 717, 721, and 723, Emergency Response for Solid Waste Facilities. This rule will allow the Department to implement the revised requirements for emergency response standards at solid waste facilities, as required by Act 862 of the 2010 legislative session. The revised requirements will help ensure that capabilities are in place for first responders in the event of accident, fire, explosion, or other emergency at these facilities. There will be a public hearing on January 26, 2011, and the deadline for public comment is February 2. http://www.doa.la.gov/osr/reg/1012/1012.pdf pp. 2916-22.
