Regulatory Changes Not surprisingly, with the economy being down significantly, Tipping fees and State appropriation dollars were down as well. The main thrust of this year’s rulemaking effort revolved around adjustments to fees (the first major adjustment to Tennessee’s fee schedule since Subtitle D was adopted).
Regulatory Changes (Continued) The Fee schedule was adjusted for: • Annual Maintenance Fee • Special Waste Evaluation • Special Waste Recertification
New Policies • Transportation Related Spills • New Design and Operating Criteria for facilities managing Secondary Aluminum Smelter Dross
On The Horizon • Permanent Records Retention • Changes in Financial Assurance Requirements • Permit Renewal Process (w/fees) • Increasing vegetative cover thickness • Additional erosion control requirements • Compost regulation revisions
