Environmental protection: hazardous waste; disposal of radioactive waste; prohibit. Amends secs. 11109, 11132 & 11514b of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.11109 et seq.).
This bill amends Michigan's environmental laws to strictly prohibit the discharge of low-activity radioactive waste into state waters and to require permits for all oceangoing vessels operating in the state. It mandates that the state environmental department review permit applications within specific timeframes and grants the department authority to modify, suspend, or revoke permits if violations occur. Additionally, the legislation sets strict requirements for vessels to manage ballast water using approved systems to prevent the introduction of aquatic nuisance species, ensuring compliance with both federal standards and any stricter Great Lakes state agreements.
