  This Act may be cited as the ``Missing Mercury in Manufacturing 
Monitoring and Mitigation Act''.

  SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

  SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

  Congress finds that--

  Congress finds that--

  (1) mercury and mercury compounds are highly toxic to humans, 
ecosystems, and wildlife;

  (1) mercury and mercury compounds are highly toxic to humans, 
ecosystems, and wildlife;

  (2) as many as 10 percent of women in the United States of 
childbearing age have mercury in their bloodstreams at a level that 
could pose risks to their unborn babies, and as many as 630,000 
children born annually in the United States are at risk of neurological 
problems relating to mercury exposure in utero;


  (3) the most significant source of mercury exposure to people in the 
United States is ingestion of mercury-contaminated fish;


  (4) the Environmental Protection Agency reports that, as of 2004, as 
a result of mercury contamination--


  (A) 44 States have fish advisories covering more than 13,000,000 lake 
acres and more than 750,000 river miles;


  (B) in 21 States, the freshwater fish advisories are statewide; and 
(C) in 12 States, the coastal fish advisories are statewide;


  (5) the long-term solution to mercury pollution is to minimize global 
mercury use and releases of mercury to eventually achieve reduced 
contamination levels in the environment, rather than reducing fish 
consumption, since uncontaminated fish represents a critical and 
healthy source of nutrition for people worldwide;


  (6) an estimated additional 24,000 to 30,000 tons of mercury are used 
at mercury cell chlor-alkali plants worldwide;


  (7) mercury pollution is a transboundary pollutant that--


  (A) is deposited locally, regionally, and globally; and


  (B) affects bodies of water near industrial areas, such as the Great 
Lakes, as well as bodies of water in remote areas, such as the Arctic 
Circle;


  (8)(A) of the approximately 30 plants in the United States that 
produce chlorine, only 8 use the obsolete ``mercury cell'' chlor-alkali 
process; and


  (B) the 8 plants described in subparagraph (A) that use the mercury 
cell chlor-alkali process release or lose a quantity of mercury that 
rivals the mercury emissions of all coal-fired power plants in the 
United States;


  (9)(A) only about 10 percent of the total quantity of chlorine and 
caustic soda produced comes from the chlor-alkali plants described in 
paragraph (8) that use the mercury cell chlor-alkali process; and


  (B) cost-effective alternatives are available and in use in the 
remaining 90 percent of chlorine and caustic soda production, and other 
countries, including Japan, have already banned the mercury cell chlor-
alkali process;


  (10) as of the date of enactment of this Act, the chlor-alkali 
industry in the United States possesses approximately 2,500 tons of 
mercury at facilities using the mercury cell process and historically 
has used substantially greater quantities of mercury because many more 
facilities in the past used the mercury cell process;


  (11) the chlor-alkali industry acknowledges that--


  (A) mercury can contaminate products manufactured at mercury cell 
facilities; and


  (B) the use of some of those products results in the direct and 
indirect release of mercury;


  (12) despite those quantities of mercury known to have been used or 
to be in use, the chlor-alkali industry and the Environmental 
Protection Agency have failed--


  (A) to adequately account for the disposition of the mercury used at 
those facilities; and


  (B) to accurately estimate current mercury emissions; and


  (13) it is critically important that the United States work 
aggressively toward the monitoring and mitigation of domestically-used 
mercury.


  SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.


  Congress declares that the United States should develop policies and 
programs that will--


  (1) reduce mercury use and emissions within the United States;


  (2) reduce mercury releases from the reservoir of mercury currently 
in use or circulation within the United States; and


  (3) reduce exposures to mercury, particularly exposures of women of 
childbearing age and young children.


  SEC. 4. USE OF MERCURY IN CHLORINE AND CAUSTIC SODA MANUFACTURING.


  (a) In General.--Title I of the Toxic Substances Control Act (15 
U.S.C. 2601 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 6 the

a facility used for the manufacture of chlorine or caustic soda using a 
mercury cell process.


  ``(2) HAZARDOUS WASTE; SOLID WASTE.--The terms `hazardous waste' and 
`solid waste' have the meanings given those terms in section 1004 of 
the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6903).


  ``(b) Prohibition.--Effective beginning January 1, 2012, the 
manufacture of chlorine or caustic soda using mercury cells is 
prohibited in the United States.


  ``(c) Reporting.--


  ``(1) IN GENERAL.--Not later than April 1, 2007, and annually 
thereafter through April 1, 2012, the owner or operator of each chlor-
alkali facility shall submit to the Administrator and the State in 
which the chlor-alkali facility is located a report that identifies--


  ``(A) each type and quantity of mercury-containing hazardous waste 
and nonhazardous solid waste generated by the chlor-alkali facility 
during the preceding calendar year;


  ``(B) the mercury content of the wastes;


  ``(C) the manner in which each waste was managed, including the 
location of each offsite location to which the waste was transported 
for subsequent handling or management;


  ``(D) the volume of mercury released, intentionally or 
unintentionally, into the air or water by the chlor-alkali facility, 
including mercury released from emissions or vaporization;


  ``(E) the volume of mercury estimated to have accumulated in pipes 
and plant equipment of the chlor-alkali facility, including a 
description of--


  ``(i) the applicable volume for each type of equipment; and


  ``(ii) methods of accumulation; and
  ``(F) the quantity and forms of mercury found in all products 
produced for sale by the chlor-alkali facility.


  ``(2) AVOIDANCE OF DUPLICATION.--To avoid duplication, the 
Administrator may permit the owner or operator of a facility described 
in paragraph (1) to combine and submit the report required under this 
subsection with any report required to be submitted by the owner or 
operator under subtitle C of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 
U.S.C.6921 et seq.).


  ``(d) Inventory.--


  ``(1) IN GENERAL.--For each chlor-alkali facility that ceases 
operations on or after July 1, 2008, not later than 1 year after the 
date of cessation of operations, the Administrator, in consultation 
with the State in which the facility is located, shall conduct a 
comprehensive mercury inventory covering the life and closure of the 
chlor-alkali facility, taking into the account--


  ``(A) the total quantity of mercury purchased to start and operate 
the chlor-alkali facility;


  ``(B) the total quantity of mercury remaining in mercury cells and 
other equipment at the time of closure of the chlor-alkali facility;


  ``(C) the estimated quantity of mercury in hazardous waste, 
nonhazardous solid waste, and products generated at the chlor-alkali 
facility during the operational life of the chlor- alkali facility; and


  ``(D) the estimated aggregate mercury releases from the chlor-alkali 
facility into air and other environmental media.


  ``(2) RECORDS AND INFORMATION.--In carrying out paragraph (1), the
