Summary
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning the short title. House Floor Amendment No. 2 Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of House Amendment No. 1 with the following changes. In a provision regarding prohibited acts under the Environmental Protection Act, exempts the burning of landscape waste in a county with a population of 50,000 or less and more than 750 feet from the nearest residence by a person engaged in the business of tree removal (rather than exempts the burning of landscape waste by a person engaged in the business of tree removal without conditions). Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. In provisions prohibiting the burning of landscape waste, exempts a person engaged in the business of tree removal, at the person's registered place of business, provided that the burning activity (i) is located in a county with a population of 50,000 or less, (ii) is more than 1,000 feet from the nearest residence, (iii) is not located in an area with a PM2.5 design value greater than 9 micrograms per cubic meter, (iv) is not located in an area of environmental justice concern, as determined by the Agency's EJ Start tool, and (v) is conducted in accordance with all federal, State, and local laws and ordinances.
