BILL NUMBER:S7281A
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to an exemption from hazardous waste generation special assessments
Purpose
This legislation would amend Environmental Conservation Law (section 27-0923 - special assessments on hazardous wastes generated) to exempt hazardous wastes generated which must be disposed of under an order or agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from the special assessment imposed by this section of law.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends paragraph c of subdivision 3 of section 27-0923 of the Environmental Conservation law to exempt hazardous wastes generated by voluntary cleanup activities from the state special assessment on hazardous wastes generated that are undertaken in accordance with the CERCLA.
Section two provides the effective date.
Justification
This bill would clarify existing NYS law by exempting wastes generated in conjunction with a Superfund cleanup project from the special assessment on hazardous waste generated, similar to how they are currently exempt from the hazardous waste program fees imposed under ECL section 72-0402, hazardous waste program fees.
Under current NYS law, hazardous wastes generated under an order, agreement or contract with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation are exempt from this special assessment. The proposed bill would extend these exemptions to cleanup activities undertaken through the Federal Superfund Program, an environmental cleanup program with similar program objectives to the above-referenced state cleanup programs.
