sans-serif">Senate Bill 251 (Substitute S-1)
Sponsor: Senator Raymond E. Basham
Committee: National Resources and Environmental Affairs
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to require that, within two years after the bill’s effective date, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) compile information obtained from wastewater permit holders and make it available on the DEQ website.
Under the Act, all wastewater permit holders are required to file an annual report with the DEQ. The report must indicate the quantities of materials used in the manufacturing processes, including by-products and waste products, and the estimated annual total number of gallons of wastewater, including process and cooling water discharged to the waters of the State or to any sewer system. The bill would require the DEQ to compile this information and post the compilation on the Department’s website.
The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bills 251, 252, and 253.
