With four bills on tap and more than 80 total amendments proposed to them, the Senate appears to have filled its plate. In addition to the first major overhaul of the state\u2019s zoning laws in more than four decades (S 2144), the Senate is expected to debate legislation seeking to reduce municipal solid waste and promote recycling, and a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing.<\/p>\n

A Sen. Marc Pacheco bill (S 454) and Ways and Means Committee redraft (S 2308) that would require each of the state\u2019s cities and towns to reduce their solid waste to no more than 600 pounds per capita by July 2018 and no more than 450 pounds per capita by July 2022. A similar iteration of the bill passed the Senate, but not the House, in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more trash we put into landfills, the more we fill up landfills quickly, the more greenhouse gases we have emitted from landfills,\u201d Pacheco said. \u201cIt\u2019s a never-ending cycle that we really can\u2019t have continue. Not only is it environmentally the wrong thing to do, but also the public health aspect of it is not positive, and economically it could save cities and towns and taxpayer resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Pacheco, 53 percent of Massachusetts communities are already in compliance with the proposed 2018 per person cap and 26 percent of municipalities already meet the 2022 requirement.<\/p>\n

The bill mirrors the structure of the 2008 Global Warming Solutions Act, which Pacheco also sponsored. The GWSA mandates that the state must reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 25 percent below 1990 statewide levels by 2020, and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is trying to set standards that communities need to move towards. It would be consistent with the overall requirements of the Global Warming Solutions Act,\u201d Pacheco said. \u201cGreenhouse gas emissions from landfills are a significant part of our greenhouse gas emissions problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
