Remote Waste Storage Act

The Remote Waste Storage Act amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act to allow hazardous waste generators in remote areas to store waste onsite for up to two years. This extension applies specifically to facilities that lack year-round surface transportation access to treatment, storage, or disposal sites. The provision requires that any such accumulation of hazardous waste must strictly follow all applicable laws and regulations. By adjusting the time limit for storage, the bill directly affects generators in isolated locations who previously faced stricter disposal timelines.
