BILL NUMBER:A7665
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 203 of the laws of 1999, amend- ing the environmental conservation law relating to extending Nassau county's authority to initiate and enforce certain actions, in relation to the extension of Nassau county's authority to initiate and enforce certain actions
Purpose
This bill extends until October 1, 2011, the authority of the Health Commissioner of Nassau County, pursuant to Environmental Conservation Law Section 71-1939, to enforce certain provisions of the Environmental Conservation Law for water pollution control.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends Section 2 of Chapter 203 of the laws of 1999, by extending through October 1, 2011, the authority granted by Environmental Conservation Law Section 71-1939 (c) and (d) to the Nassau County Health Commissioner to enforce certain provisions of the Environ- mental Conservation Law relating to water pollution control, including the general prohibition against water pollution and pollution of the marine district, and for the control of bulk storage of petroleum. These provisions previously were extended by chapter 246 of the laws of 2007 through October 1, 2009.
Justification
This legislation is needed to preserve the Nassau County Health Commis- sioner's power to enforce certain provisions of the Environmental Conservation Law regulating water pollution. Nassau County's water bodies are perhaps its most precious natural resource. It is critical to the welfare of the residents of the County that the County's water resources be vigorously protected. Preserving the County Health Commis- sioner's power to enforce water pollution control regulations is thus essential.
