HB 1101 (2018)
This bill became law.
Allows the Department of Environmental Services (DES) to make rules regarding air pollution and the deposit of such pollutants on soils and water. This bill also sets a timeline for DES to evaluate certain water contaminants, such as PFCs, and establish ambient groundwater and drinking water standards for those contaminants. The House amended the bill to also establish a toxicologist position and a human health risk assessor position in DES. The Senate then amended the bill to also require DES to develop a plan to establish surface water quality standards for PFC contamination.
