BILL NUMBER: AB 1776 INTRODUCED
BILL TEXT
INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Obernolte
FEBRUARY 3, 2016
An act to amend Section 25113 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to hazardous waste.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1776, as introduced, Obernolte. Hazardous waste: disposal:
exemption.
Existing law prohibits the management of hazardous waste except in
accordance with the hazardous waste control laws and prohibits the
disposal of hazardous waste except at a disposal site or at a
facility of an owner or operator who holds a valid hazardous waste
facilities permit or other grant of authorization from the Department
of Toxic Substances Control to use and operate the site or facility.
Existing law defines the term "disposal" for purposes of the
hazardous waste control laws as including the discharge, deposit,
injection, dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of a waste into or
on any land.
This bill would exclude, from the definition of the term "disposal"
under those laws, the onsite movement of soil at an active outdoor
sport shooting range, as defined, if this movement is done to
facilitate the removal and recycling of spent ammunition materials
existing on the site as a result of the normal use of the shooting
range and the residual soil is replaced within the area from which it
was originally removed.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 25113 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
25113. (a) (1) "Disposal" means either of
the following:
(1)
(A) The discharge, deposit, injection, dumping,
spilling, leaking, or placing of any waste so that the waste or any
constituent of the waste is or may be emitted into the air or
discharged into or on any land or waters, including groundwaters, or
may otherwise enter the environment.
(2)
(B) The abandonment of any waste.
(2) "Disposal" does not include the onsite movement of soil at an
active outdoor sport shooting range if this movement is done to
facilitate the removal and recycling of spent ammunition materials

was originally removed.

section made at by Section 2 of Chapter 1436
of the 1989-90 Regular Session Statutes
