Sec. 22a-208aa. Issuance of permit for solid waste facility located near housing
development. The Commissioner of Environmental Protection shall not issue a permit
for the construction or operation of a solid waste facility located or proposed to be
constructed on a parcel of real property, the boundary of which such parcel is located
within one hundred fifty feet of a parcel of property containing a housing development
owned by a housing authority, unless the Commissioner of Environmental Protection
determines that the proposed facility does not pose a threat to the environment of the
surrounding geographic area or to public safety. The provisions of this section shall not
apply to a permit to construct or operate a solid waste facility issued on or before September 30, 2008, or to the renewal of such a permit. For the purposes of this section, "solid
waste facility" means any solid waste disposal area, volume reduction plant, transfer
station, wood-burning facility or biomedical waste treatment facility, but does include
any redemption center; "redemption center" has the same meaning as provided in section
22a-243; and "housing authority" has the same meaning as provided in section 8-39.
