This bill would
place certain restrictions on the sale and use of firefighting foam to which
PFAS has been intentionally added. The bill directs the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) to collaborate with other state agencies to
develop a framework to address future collection and disposal of these
products and report back on the findings. The bill includes appropriations to
the DEP of $34,123 in fiscal year 2021-22 and $13,398 in fiscal year 2022-23
for one half-time Environmental Specialist III position. The position will
begin October 1, 2021 and continue for one year, ending September 30, 2022.
Additional costs to the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency
Management to collaborate with the DEP are anticipated to be minor and can be
absorbed within existing budgeted resources. |
