History: Laws 1990, ch. 99, § 20.
Compiler's notes. — Laws 1990, ch. 99 enacted Sections 1 to 42 and 72 and 73, which constitute the Solid Waste Act. Section 73 was a savings clause that was not compiled.
Application sufficient. — The application in this case contained the necessary information, since neither the Act nor the regulations mandate that specific information about the liner and leachate collection system be contained in the application. Joab, Inc. v. Espinosa, 1993-NMCA-113, 116 N.M. 554, 865 P.2d 1198.
