Bill Summary
CONCERNING MEASURES TO INCREASE PUBLIC PROTECTION FROM TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase public protections from toxic air contaminants in Colorado. It does this by:
1) Requiring annual reporting of toxic air emissions data from permitted sources and synthetic minor sources. The bill also directs the state to study gaps in existing reporting requirements.
2) Establishing a statewide monitoring program to measure toxic air contaminant concentrations, with a focus on disproportionately impacted communities.
3) Requiring the state to set health-based standards for priority toxic air contaminants, considering factors like cumulative impacts and impacts on vulnerable populations.
4) Directing the state to develop emission control regulations to reduce emissions of priority toxic air contaminants, focusing on disproportionately impacted communities.
5) Assessing the need for an air toxics permitting program for new, modified, and existing sources.
The bill also makes an appropriation to the Department of Public Health and Environment to implement these new requirements.
