Michigan Inert and Compost Rules Comment Deadline

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE) has extended the public comment period for the Inert and Compost Rules, which are proposed amendments to the Solid Waste Management Act Administrative Rules. The new deadline for the public to submit written comments is Feb. 28, 2011.

The rule amendments are intended to promote waste utilization in conformance with Michigan's Solid Waste Policy and the Recommendations of the Environmental Advisory Council on the Land Application of Waste Derived Material. The amendments update and expand provisions for the utilization of inert material and industrial by-products. They also establish minimum location and operating standards and registration requirements for organics composting facilities.
