2021 New York Laws ENV - Environmental Conservation Article 27 - Collection, Treatment and Disposal of Refuse and Other Solid Waste Title 13 - Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites 27-1317 - New Use of Sites.

§ 27-1317. New use of sites.Subsequent  to  the adoption of regulations by the department provided   for in this section, no person may substantially change  the  manner  in   which an inactive hazardous waste disposal site on the registry prepared   and  maintained  by  the  department pursuant to section 27-1305 of this   title is used, without notifying the department and, pursuant to section   one thousand three hundred eighty-nine-d of the public health  law,  the   department  of  health.  A substantial change of use shall be defined in   rules and regulations adopted by the department and shall  include,  but   not be limited to, the erection of a building or other structure on such   site,  the  paving of such site for use as a roadway or parking lot, and   the creation of a park or other public or private recreational  facility   on  such  site.  Such  notice  shall  be  in  writing,  addressed to the   commissioner and the commissioner of health and shall  include  a  brief   description  of  the  proposed  change  of  use.  Such  notice  shall be   submitted at least sixty days before any physical alteration of the land   or  construction  shall  occur  or,  in  the  event  any  alteration  or   construction  is  not  required to initiate such change of use, at least   sixty days before any change of use.Subsequent to the adoption of regulations by the  department  provided   for  in  this  section, no person may substantially change the manner in   which an inactive hazardous waste disposal site, for which a declaration   has been issued by the commissioner of health  pursuant  to  subdivision   two  of  section  one thousand three hundred eighty-nine-b of the public   health law, is used without the written approval of the commissioner and   the commissioner of health. The  commissioner  shall  not  approve  such   change  of  use  if  such  new  use  will interfere significantly with a   proposed, ongoing or completed inactive hazardous  waste  disposal  site   remedial  program  at such site or expose the environment or health to a   significantly increased threat of harm.

2021 New York Laws ENV - Environmental Conservation Article 27 - Collection, Treatment and Disposal of Refuse and Other Solid Waste Title 14 - Brownfield Cleanup Program 27-1403 - Declaration of Policy and Findings of Fact.

§ 27-1403. Declaration of policy and findings of fact.The legislature hereby finds that there are thousands of abandoned and   likely  contaminated properties that threaten the health and vitality of   the communities they burden, and that these sites, known as brownfields,   are also contributing to sprawl development and loss of open  space.  It   is  therefore  declared  that, to advance the policy of the state of New   York to  conserve,  improve,  and  protect  its  natural  resources  and   environment  and  control  water,  land,  and  air pollution in order to   enhance the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the  state  and   their overall economic and social well being, it is appropriate to adopt   this  act to encourage persons to voluntarily remediate brownfield sites   for reuse and redevelopment by  establishing  within  the  department  a   statutory  program  to encourage cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield   sites. All remedies shall be fully protective of public health  and  the   environment  including, but not limited to, groundwater according to its   classification pursuant to section 17-0301 of this chapter.  A  remedial   program  that  achieves  a  permanent  cleanup  of  a contaminated site,   including the restoration of groundwater to its classified use, is to be   preferred over a remedial program that does not do so. It is the  intent   of  the  legislature  that  the  provisions  of  this brownfield cleanup   program shall not be construed as limiting or  otherwise  affecting  any   authority conferred upon the department by any other provision of law.

2021 New York Laws ENV - Environmental Conservation Article 27 - Collection, Treatment and Disposal of Refuse and Other Solid Waste Title 14 - Brownfield Cleanup Program 27-1413 - Alternatives Analysis.

§ 27-1413. Alternatives analysis.   1.  For  sites  proposed  to  be  remediated under Track 1 pursuant to section 27-1415 of this title, the applicant shall develop and  evaluate at least one remedial alternative.   2.  For  all  other sites, the applicant shall develop and evaluate at least two remedial alternatives, one of which would achieve  a  Track  1 cleanup.  The  department  shall  have  the  discretion  to  require the evaluation of additional alternatives at a site that has been determined to  pose  a  significant  threat.  The  applicant   shall   submit   the alternatives  analysis  as  a  part  of  the  remedial  work plan to the department for review, approval, modification or rejection.   3. Unless the applicant has elected to remediate the site to Track  1, the  department  may require the applicant, as a condition of continuing under this program, to develop and evaluate a Track 2  cleanup  pursuant to  section  27-1415  of this title for such non-significant threat site upon due consideration of the following factors:  (a) the degree to which the remedy selection criteria would be  better satisfied by a Track 2 cleanup;  (b)  the  degree  of  impact  a  Track  2  cleanup  would  have on the applicant's  ability  to  successfully  cleanup  and/or  redevelop   the property;  (c)  the  benefit to the environment to be realized by the expeditious remediation of the property; and  (d)  the  economic  benefit  to  the  state  to  be  realized  by  the expeditious remediation of the property.   4.   For  sites  that  the  department  has  determined  constitute  a significant threat, the  department  shall  select  the  remedy  from  a department-approved alternatives analysis prepared by the applicant.   5.  For  sites  that the department has determined do not constitute a significant  threat,  the  applicant  may  select  the  remedy  from   a department-approved  alternatives analysis, which analysis shall contain at least two remedial alternatives as set forth in  subdivision  two  of this  section. Provided, however, that where the department has required the applicant to develop and evaluate a Track  2 cleanup, the department shall have the discretion to, as a condition of  continuing  under  this program, require the applicant to implement such remedy.

(b)  "complete  notice"  means  a  notice that adequately apprises the department of the contemplated change of use of such site and  how  such change  of  use  may  affect  the site's proposed, ongoing, or completed remedial program.
