ENERGY: Provides relative to carbon dioxide sequestration (OR INCREASE SD EX See Note)

HB 353 establishes new requirements for carbon dioxide sequestration facilities and transmission pipelines. It mandates that owners and operators develop emergency response plans and conduct training exercises with local emergency responders, ensuring necessary equipment and personal protective equipment are available. The bill also requires operators to monitor ground water quality, create remediation plans for contamination, and provide financial security to address potential impacts on public water systems. Additionally, it requires operators to provide alternative drinking water supplies within 24 hours if contamination renders a source unsafe.
