Nebraska State Register

Adopt Title 196 - Nebraska Public Swimming Pool Standards. See above.

Title 132 - Integrated Solid Waste Management Regulations. DWEE proposes to revise Title 132 in five (5) areas: • First, the proposal adopts the federal regulatory program for the management of Coal Combustion Residuals or “CCR” that took effect at the federal level in October 2015. CCR is the various types of ash and other residues that are generated from the burning of coal in electric power plants. This material was unregulated at the federal level prior to October 2015, but Nebraska has regulated it and required permits for its disposal since the early 1990s. The term used in the current state program for this material is “fossil fuel combustion ash” or “FFCA”. The current state regulations are proposed to be replaced by the more recent federal regulations. • Second, the proposal improves the regulatory text in its readability, clarity, and consistency of application. • Third, the proposal moves and streamlines regulations for the land application of paunch manure from Title 126 to 132 which is a more appropriate location for these requirements. • Fourth, the proposal updates the agency name throughout Title 132 from “Department of Environmental Quality” (the agency name at the time of Title 132’s last regulatory update) to “Department of Water, Energy, and Environment” as a result of LB317 passed in 2025. • Fifth, the proposal updates the regulations for consistency with another legislative bill passed in 2025, LB247, which increased the landfill tipping fee from $1.25/ton of solid waste to $2.34/ton.
