Bill > A09287

This bill establishes the "nutrient inactivant application permit" to allow for the use of products (such as aluminum sulfate, sodium aluminate, and lanthanum) used for controlling phosphorus levels in lakes or ponds to prevent and inhibit harmful algal blooms. The bill defines key terms like "nutrient inactivant application business," "nutrient inactivants," and "nutrient inactivant applicator." It outlines the permit application process, including requirements for the applicant, and authorizes the Department of Environmental Conservation to issue, deny, or revoke permits and set fees. The bill also exempts nutrient inactivant application permit holders from certain pesticide regulations.
