Full text of Tennessee Tennessee Code Annotated § 68-211-706 — Applicability — Private, municipal or county landfills., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 68-211-706. Applicability — Private, municipal or county landfills.
This part shall not apply to any private landfill that accepts solid waste solely generated by its owner if the waste is solely generated within the county subject to this part and if the private landfill does not accept county or municipal solid waste or ordinary household garbage. This part shall not apply to any municipal or county owned and/or operated landfill. Acts 1989, ch. 515, §§ 10, 12; T.C.A., § 68-31-706 ; Acts 2009, ch. 199, § 1. Compiler's Notes. Former title 68, ch. 31, parts 1-9 were transferred to title 68, ch. 211, parts 1-9, respectively, in 1992. See the parallel reference table in § 68-211-101 for the former and new section locations. The court held in Profill Development v. Dills , 960 S.W.2d 17 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1997), that title 68, ch. 211, part 7 is unconstitutional since § 68-211-706(b) results in discrimination against private owners and operators of landfills. Nonetheless, the remainder of part 7 was upheld as constitutionally valid because § 68-211-706(b) is severable by the operation of the doctrine of elision. For the Preamble to the act regarding the biodiversity of the Swan Creek Watershed, please refer to Acts 2009, ch. 199.
