2006 Senate Bill 1194

Require pollution clean up standards be science-based

Introduced in the Senate

March 28, 2006

Introduced by Sen. Tony Stamas (R-36)

To require the Department of Environment Quality to incorporate into remedial action plans for the clean up of polluted sites areawide or site-specific cleanup criteria derived from peer-reviewed bioavailability studies, peer-reviewed site-specific human exposure data, and any other peer-reviewed scientifically based risk assessment studies that are available and relevant. This would narrow somewhat the authority of DEQ to derive its own clean-up benchmarks.

Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs
