§ 115A.914 — Administration; County Planning and Ordinances

Plain-Language Summary

This section gives the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency authority to regulate and enforce the waste tire program using its powers under chapters 115 and 116. The agency must adopt rules for tire collector and processor permits. Counties must include waste tire collection in their solid waste management plans and adopt local ordinances at least as strict as agency rules.

Practical Notes
Both state and county rules govern waste tires — the MPCA sets the floor with its rules, but counties can be stricter. Anyone seeking a tire collector or processor permit should check both state rules and their county’s local ordinances. Counties must integrate tire collection into their broader solid waste management planning.
