Summary:
House Bill 0066, commonly referred to as the Cease and Transfer bill, was enacted by the Wyoming legislature in the 2013 general session. Under this bill, Wyoming Statutes (W.S.) 35-11-528 through W.S. 35-11-532 were enacted enabling municipal solid waste (MSW) facility operators to receive funds to assist in the building of MSW transfer stations and for closure of small landfills. To be eligible for funding, operators must enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Solid and Hazardous Waste Division (SHWD); implement and revise the community's solid waste management plan; cease disposal of all MSW streams at the closing facility; and conform with applicable statutes (cited above).
