Bill > H0632

Introduced Session

This bill proposes to amend multiple environmental subjects. The bill would extend by a year the date by which an assessment of the end-of-life management of certain battery types shall be conducted and requires the battery stewardship organization in the State to complete the assessment instead of the Agency of Natural Resources. The bill would extend multiple deadline dates for reporting or rulemaking for specific flood safety, river corridor, wetlands, and dam programs. The bill would amend notice requirements regarding clean water service providers. In addition, the bill would amend the scope of the stream alteration program so that permits are required when an alteration would occur in any watercourse with a watershed area greater than 0.5 square miles at the location of the proposed alteration. The bill also would strike stormwater impact fees for parcels subject to the three-acre general permit for stormwater discharges. The bill would make multiple amendments to the State Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation permit program. In addition, the bill would allow a State H.632 agency to adopt emergency rules if an amendment to a federal statute, rule, or policy would materially conflict with or threaten the ability of a State agency to implement a statutory or regulatory program under Vermont law. The bill also would amend the eligibility requirements for the State emissions repair program.
