BILL NUMBER:S6535
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to prohibiting
coal tar in pavement products
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this legislation is to prohibit the use and
sale of pavement products which contain coal tar.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends the environmental conservation
law by adding a new section 37-0115.
Section 2 establishes the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
Recent studies conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey
showed that while levels of the majority of common environmental
pollutants in our waterways are consistently declining, components of
coal tar sealants are being found at increasing levels. Coal
tar-based sealcoats contain high concentrations of polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PARs), which have been linked to cancer and
are toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Results of the studies also
identified chemicals associated with the coal tar sealants in house
