Solid Waste Disposal - As introduced, authorizes the department of environment and conservation to permit solid waste disposal systems to submit groundwater sampling reports in electronic format. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 11; Title 64; Title 67 and Title 68.
SB 2546 allows solid waste disposal facilities (like landfills or treatment sites) to submit groundwater sampling reports electronically instead of on paper, with approval from Tennessee's Department of Environment and Conservation. The bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee law to permit this electronic reporting method, making the process more flexible for facilities. It does not require electronic submission but gives the department the authority to authorize it. The change takes effect on July 1, 2026, and directly affects facilities currently required to file these environmental compliance reports.
