  2 17 of the groundwater protection fund under Code section 455E.11
  2 18 and are used to encourage alternatives to landfilling.
  2 19    The bill establishes in Code section 455D.4 as a public

  2 21 programs.
  2 22    The bill also makes conforming amendments to Code sections
  2 23 123.187 and 455C.4.
