LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 483, as amended, Bocanegra.
Housing authority. Airports: pollution.
Under existing law, the Department of Toxic Substances Control generally regulates, among other things, the management and handling of hazardous waste and hazardous materials. Existing law requires a facility handling hazardous waste to obtain a hazardous waste facilities permit from the department and authorizes the department to enforce the requirements of the hazardous waste control laws through various means, including conducting inspections, issuing orders requiring that violations be corrected, and imposing administrative penalties, as specified.
Existing law imposes various limitations on emissions of air contaminants for the control of air pollution from vehicular and nonvehicular sources. Existing law generally designates the State Air Resources Board
as the state agency with the primary responsibility for the control of vehicular air pollution, and air pollution control and air quality management districts with the primary responsibility for the control of air pollution from all sources other than vehicular sources.
This bill would require the department and the state board to conduct specified tests of the soil and air quality at airports, as defined. The bill would require the state board to coordinate the air quality testing with air districts. The bill would require the department and the state board, no later than July 1, 2019, to submit a specified report to the Legislature and post that report on their Internet Web sites. By adding to the duties of air districts, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Existing law authorizes a housing authority to lease housing to persons of low income throughout the county in which it operates, except as provided.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to this provision.
