HB 2440 Hazardous waste facilities; financial assuranaces therefor.

Introduced by: Christopher B. Saxman | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Financial assurances for hazardous waste facilities.  Directs any forfeited financial assurances for abandoned hazardous waste storage, treatment, or disposal facilities be paid to the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality to assure proper closure and maintenance of the facilities. This is similar to how financial assurances are structured in the solid waste program and the federal hazardous waste program. Current law provides that, should a facility fail to properly close a hazardous waste management facility, the financial assurances provided are available only to the locality to assure proper closure.
