Introduced by: Mary Margaret Whipple | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Air quality monitoring and reporting. Increases air quality monitoring to obtain base-line data in current attainment areas so if new industry is proposed, the impacts can be estimated. This bill requires the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to develop a plan to (1) study the cumulative environmental impacts of proposed electrical generating facilities; (2) fund such a study through the use of federal, state, or private monies; and (3) collect data for such a study by increasing the number of ozone monitoring stations. To the extent funding is available for such a study, this bill directs DEQ to place ozone monitoring stations in the regions of greatest permitting activity, gather appropriate data, conduct the study, and report the results to the Chairmen of the Senate Agriculture Conservation and Natural Resources Committee and the House Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources Committee annually.
