2023 New York Laws › PBH - Public Health › Article 13 - Nuisances and Sanitation › Title 12 - Toxic Substances › 1385 - Legislative Intent.

§  1385.  Legislative intent.  Sites formerly operated as landfills to
  dispose of toxic substances are exposing the citizens of  the  state  to
  unnecessary  hazards,  the  duration  and extent of which is unknown. To
  develop a plan for the alleviation of these conditions, it is  necessary
  to  conduct  a  study  to  determine  the  extent  of  such hazards. The
  potential hazard believed to exist at a specific landfill  site  in  the
  county  of  Niagara,  has  precipitated the need for immediate action to
  authorize the department of  health  to  undertake  such  study  and  to
  conduct  a pilot program to evaluate the effect of individual corrective
  systems in affected residences.
2023 New York Laws › PBH - Public Health › Article 13 - Nuisances and Sanitation › Title 12 - Toxic Substances › 1386 - Duties of the Commissioner.

§  1386. Duties of the commissioner.  The commissioner of health shall
