This CLE is sponsored by the MSBA Public Law Section and
the MSBA Environmental, Natural Resources and Energy Law (ENRE) Section
This CLE provides an overview of how
solid waste has been managed historically in Minnesota and how that has informed
the current regulatory environment. Looking first at the historic harms of
landfilling waste, the CLE will discuss how the State of Minnesota has addressed
past harms of landfilling through the Closed Landfill Program. The CLE will next
discuss how the State seeks to avoid past mistakes through current statutes and
rules, including the Solid Waste Management Act, waste designation, and
restricting disposal of certain waste. We will review key state and federal
cases governing waste designation and restriction on disposal—which both play an
important role in abating the use of landfills. Finally, we will discuss the
State’s long-term solid waste management goals found in the Solid Waste Policy
Plan that governs future management of solid waste.Presenter:
