Bill > AB1102

This bill requires the Department of Toxic Substances Control and the State Water Resources Control Board to submit a comprehensive report to the Legislature by January 1, 2027, detailing contaminated sites that are vulnerable to sea level rise and groundwater rise. The report will identify these sites and provide information about when vulnerability assessments have been or will be completed, and must comply with existing government reporting guidelines. Originally, the bill also included a provision that would have required developers to complete a risk assessment for new developments within 1,000 feet of a contaminated site in areas potentially affected by sea level or groundwater rise (defined as five feet of change), but this section was removed before the bill's final version. The bill includes a sunset provision that will automatically repeal the reporting requirement on January 1, 2031. Additionally, the bill specifies that local agencies will not be reimbursed for costs associated with implementing this requirement, as they have the authority to levy fees or charges to cover the associated expenses.
