WASTE INFORMATION AND ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (§ 10.1-1413.1)

A. The Department shall report by June 30 of each year the amount of solid
waste, by weight or volume, disposed of in the Commonwealth during the preceding
calendar year. The report shall identify solid waste by the following
categories: (i) municipal solid waste; (ii) construction and demolition debris;
(iii) incinerator ash; (iv) sludge other than sludge that is land applied in
accordance with § 62.1-44.19:3; and (v) tires. For each such category the
report shall include an estimate of the amount that was generated outside of the
Commonwealth and the jurisdictions where such waste originated, if known. The
report shall also estimate the amount of solid waste managed or disposed of by
each of the following methods: (i) recycling; (ii) composting; (iii)
landfilling; and (iv) incineration.

B. All permitted facilities that treat, store or dispose of solid waste shall
provide the Department not more than annually, upon request, with such
information in their possession as is reasonably necessary to prepare the report
required by this section. At the option of the facility owner, the data
collected may include an accounting of the facility’s economic benefits to
the locality where the facility is located including the value of disposal and
recycling facilities provided to the locality at no cost or reduced cost, direct
employment associated with the facility, and other economic benefits resulting
from the facility during the preceding calendar year. No facility shall be
required pursuant to this section to provide information that is a trade secret
as defined in § 59.1-336.

C. This section shall not apply to captive waste management facilities.
