New permit rules for industrial waste

The Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission must begin making rules to authorize no-discharge land-application permits for industrial waste. This starts a new permit pathway rather than immediately making the permits available. Until the rule takes effect, the Division of Environmental Quality must keep using its existing land-application permit procedures.

Maximum penalties for industrial waste violations

Arkansas requires the maximum penalty allowed by existing law for each qualifying violation by industrial wastewater residuals land-application permit holders. This applies when a permit violation causes over-application or precipitation-related surface land application. Surface application means spraying, spreading, or mixing waste into or onto land. It does not include injecting waste into land.
