The Senate Energy, Industry and Mining Committee met today to discuss five bills. These bills were SB 106, SB 110, SB 111, SB 112, and SB 113. These bills contain rule modifications that promote consistency in language that goes all the way up to a federal level.
Senate Bill 106 would modify a DEP rule relating to various permits.
Senate Bill 110 would modify a DEP rule relating to emission standards for hazardous air pollutants.
Senate Bill 111 would modify a DEP rule relating to ambient air quality standards.
Senate Bill 112 would modify a DEP rule relating to voluntary remediation and redevelopment.
Senate Bill 113 would modify a DEP rule relating to awarding of matching grants to local litter control.
Chair of the committee, Senator Smith (R-Tucker), said this would be the last meeting regarding rule changes and from here on out it would be the “meat and potatoes.”
