FURTHER DUTIES OF BOARD; LOCALITIES PARTICULARLY AFFECTED (§ 10.1-1402.01)

After June 30, 1994, before promulgating any regulation under consideration or
granting any variance to an existing regulation, or issuing any treatment,
storage, or disposal permit, except for an emergency permit, if the Board finds
that there are localities particularly affected by the regulation, variance or
permit, the Board shall:

1. Publish, or require the applicant to publish, a notice in a local paper of
general circulation in the localities affected at least thirty days prior to the
close of any public comment period. Such notice shall contain a statement of the
estimated local impact of the proposed action, which at a minimum shall include
information on the location and type of waste treated, stored or disposed.

2. Mail the notice to the chief elected official and chief administrative
officer and planning district commission for those localities.
			Written comments shall be accepted by the Board for at least fifteen days
after any hearing on the regulation, variance, or permit, unless the Board votes
to shorten the period.
			For the purposes of this section, the term &#8220;locality particularly
affected&#8221; means any locality which bears any identified disproportionate
material environmental impact which would not be experienced by other
localities. For the purposes of this section, the transportation of waste shall
not constitute a material environmental impact.
