Bill > S03179

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to redefine "coal tar," which is a byproduct of heating coal, by including ethylene cracked residues or steam cracked residues and lowering the threshold for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from one thousand milligrams per kilogram to one milligram per kilogram. The bill also renumbers an existing section of the law and states that these changes will take effect two years after becoming law, aiming to restrict the use of coal tar in pavement products due to its potential health and environmental impacts.
