Existing law provides that the Department of Toxic Substances Control regulates the handling and management of hazardous substances, materials, and waste. Existing law requires the department to, among other things, issue hazardous waste facilities permits to facilities handling hazardous waste and to enforce the requirements of the hazardous waste control laws. The Carpenter-Presley-Tanner Hazardous Substance Account Act establishes a program authorizing certain responses to releases of hazardous substances, including spills and hazardous waste disposal sites that pose a threat to the public health or the environment, and imposes liability for hazardous substance removal or remedial actions. The act requires any treatment, storage, transfer, or disposal facility built on the Stringfellow Quarry Class I Hazardous Waste Disposal Site to only be used to treat, store, transfer, or dispose of hazardous substances removed from that site. This bill would prohibit any sample or waste generated from a site other than the Stringfellow Quarry from being treated, stored, transferred to, or disposed of at the Stringfellow Quarry Class I Hazardous Waste Disposal Site. The bill would require the department to provide notice, as specified, if any material or substance generated from a site other than the Stringfellow Quarry is treated, stored, transferred to, or disposed of at the Stringfellow Class I Hazardous Waste Site. The bill would exempt any material or substance necessary to implement the ongoing cleanup of the site from the notice provision. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Stringfellow Quarry.
