Ninth Annual Landfill Capacity Report- 1995GlossaryMunicipal waste -- garbage, general household, institutional and commercial waste, industrial lunchroom or office waste, landscape waste, and construction and demolition debris (415 ILCS 15/3). Nonhazardous solid waste landfill subject to State fee -- Under Section 22.15(b) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act), the Agency is authorized to collect a fee from the owner or operator of a sanitary landfill permitted by the Agency which is located off site from where such waste was produced. This landfill is owned, controlled, and operated by someone other than the waste generator. Pollution Control Facility (PCF) -- any waste storage site, sanitary landfill, waste disposal site, waste transfer station, waste treatment facility, or waste incinerator (415 ILCS 5/3.32). Recycling, reclamation or reuse -- a method, technique or process designed to remove any contaminant from waste so as to render the waste reusable, or any process by which materials that would otherwise be disposed of or discarded are collected, separated or processed and returned to the economic mainstream in the form of raw materials or products (415 ILCS5/3.30). Solid Waste Management (SWM) Fund -- Quarterly fees paid on amounts of solid waste accepted annually for disposal at nonhazardous solid waste landfills are deposited into the Solid Waste Management Fund. The fee raised $12.1 million in 1995. The SWM fund supports Illinois EPA programs such as solid waste management grants made to local governments, household hazardous waste collection and disposal programs, and the Industrial Material Exchange Service. Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs solid waste management programs such as recycling grants, market development, technology demonstration, education, university recycling, and siting and technical assistance are also supported by the SWM fund. |
