Staff Analysis of the Legislation

The Department of Agriculture has rules in place to regulate soil amendments (view here). This legislation would allow counties or municipalities to further regulate the application of soil amendments derived from industrial by-products. Local governments would be allowed to adopt zoning ordinances including the adoption of buffers and setbacks. The Department of Agriculture's rules would be the minimum standard.
