Section 5.902. Restrictions on municipal waste facility volumes

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and the Department of Transportation will conduct, or cause to be conducted, engineering and traffic studies or other analyses that are necessary to determine whether the volumes and types of waste permitted, requested or received at a municipal waste facility cause or contribute to violations of the environmental laws, 75 Pa.C.S. (relating to the Vehicle Code) or any other transportation safety requirements administered by the Department of Transportation or the Department. Municipal waste facilities include a municipal waste landfill, a resource recovery facility or a transfer facility. The Department will modify, suspend or revoke any existing municipal waste facility permit, as necessary, to reduce or eliminate public safety hazards, public nuisances or other violations of law.
