THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 11511c. (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
part, and except as otherwise provided in this section, the
department shall reject any application for a permit to construct a
landfill submitted after December 31, 2005 and before the effective
date of the amendatory act that added this section, and shall not
accept an application for a permit to construct a landfill
submitted on or after that effective date and before January 1,
2011.
(2) The department may issue a permit for a design
modification to an existing landfill if the modification does not
result in a net increase in remaining disposal capacity as
calculated under section 11507a.
(3) The department may issue a permit to construct an
expansion to an existing landfill if the applicant demonstrates
that the landfill has less than 3 years of remaining disposal
capacity as calculated under section 11507a and the application
otherwise meets the requirements of this part. A permit issued
under this subsection shall provide not more than a total of 8
years of remaining disposal capacity when added to the remaining
disposal capacity existing prior to issuance of the permit. The
amount of time of remaining disposal capacity shall be calculated
based on the average of the 3 prior years of waste receipt as
reported under section 11507a.
(4) The department may issue a permit to construct a type III
landfill that is a captive facility if the application otherwise
meets the requirements of this part.
(5) As used in this section, "captive facility" means that
term as defined in section 11525a.
(6) This section is repealed effective January 1, 2011.
