BILL NUMBER:A10202
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the classification of certain dredged sediment
Purpose or general idea of bill
To establish classification of materi- als dredged or excavated from the waters of the state as beneficial use materials and shall not be classified as a solid waste.
Summary of specific provisions
Amended by adding a new title 35 to Article 15 of the environmental law.
Justification
Dredged sediment is typically misclassified as solid waste and so the state spends valuable funds to dispose of it by trans- porting it to landfills far away. However in actuality dredged sediment is a beneficial material which can be reused and sold to contractors for various uses. Disposing of it will no longer be costly to the state; instead it will create additional revenues for the state.
