HB 1762 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO REQUIRE REVOCATION OF A PERMIT FOR THE DISPOSAL OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE IN AN AGRICULTURAL OR PASTORAL APPLICATION FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF VIOLATIONS.

House Bill 1762, now Act 1009, updates regulations for entities permitted to apply industrial wastewater residuals onto land. It requires the Division of Environmental Quality to assess the maximum allowable penalty for each violation involving over-application or precipitation-related surface land application. Additionally, the bill directs the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission to begin developing new rules for "no-discharge" land application permits for industrial waste. Current land application permit procedures will remain in effect until these new rules are established.
