Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the definition of coal tar and its use in pavement products

AI Summary

This bill amends the environmental conservation law to redefine "coal tar" as a viscous substance obtained by the destructive distillation of coal, including but not limited to ethylene cracked residues or steam cracked residues, and containing levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in excess of one thousand milligrams per kilogram, rather than the previous threshold of ten thousand milligrams per kilogram. The bill aims to update the definition and regulation of coal tar, which is used in some pavement products.
