2021 New York Laws ENV - Environmental Conservation Article 71 - Enforcement Title 36 - Environmental Easements 71-3601 - Declaration of Policy and Statement of Purpose.

§ 71-3601. Declaration of policy and statement of purpose.The  legislature  hereby  finds  and  declares  that contaminated site   remedial programs are  an  important  and  necessary  component  of  the   state's  policy  of  restoring  and  revitalizing  real property located   throughout New York state. The legislature further finds  that  when  an   environmental  remediation  project  leaves  residual  contamination  at   levels that have been determined to be safe for a specific use, but  not   all  uses,  or includes engineered structures that must be maintained or   protected against damage to be effective, it is necessary to provide  an   effective   and   enforceable  means  of  ensuring  the  performance  of   maintenance, monitoring or operation requirements, and of  ensuring  the   potential restriction of future uses of the land, including restrictions   on  drilling  for  or  pumping  groundwater  for as long as any residual   contamination remains hazardous. The  legislature  declares,  therefore,   that  it  is  in  the  public interest to create environmental easements   because such easements are necessary for the protection of human  health   and  the  environment  and  to  achieve the requirements for remediation   established at contaminated sites.
