Sec. 22a-285c. Operation of ash residue disposal area exempt from local zoning. Additional information required for permit. (a) The Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority shall assure that any ash residue disposal area established by the authority under section 22a-285a is constructed, operated, closed, monitored and maintained
after closure in accordance with all applicable laws, and that all necessary permits and
approvals are obtained, except that any such area established under sections 16-50j,
22a-208b and 22a-285 to 22a-285k, inclusive, shall not be required to comply with
requirements established by any municipal planning or zoning commission pursuant to
chapter 124 or 126 or any special act.
(b) In addition to information required for a permit pursuant to section 22a-208a to
construct an ash residue disposal area, the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority
shall submit the following for approval to the commissioner: (1) A management plan
to preserve the site and allow for public use to the maximum extent possible before,
during and after disposal of ash residue. Such plan shall include, but not be limited to,
provisions for (A) preserving all portions of the site which are not needed immediately
for ash residue disposal or site preparation, (B) public use of the site at times and in a
manner consistent with the use of the site for ash residue disposal, and (C) establishment
of buffer areas, including, but not limited to, buffers between areas of the site used for
ash residue disposal and residential dwellings and any surface waters. The plan shall
provide for site management that will not inhibit postclosure monitoring and maintenance and (2) a plan providing for the transportation of ash residue to the site by rail or
by state highway, dedicated limited access roads or local roads. Transportation by rail
or on state highway or other limited access roads shall be preferred to transportation on
local roads.
