2023 Oklahoma Statutes › Title 27A. Environment and Natural Resources › §27A-4-2-105. Local emergency planning committees - Privileges and immunities.

A. The Legislature finds that individuals appointed to the local emergency planning committees pursuant to the Oklahoma Hazardous Materials Planning and Notification Act in developing effective comprehensive local emergency response plans serve to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens and the environment of this state. The Legislature, in addition, finds that potential exposure to liability has a detrimental effect on the participation of the individuals on local emergency planning committees and that in order for these local emergency planning committees to function effectively, individuals serving on such committees shall be exempt from civil liability, except as otherwise provided by the Oklahoma Hazardous Materials Planning and Notification Act, for any act or omissions made in the performance of their official duties which resulted in direct or proximate harm to any person or property.
B. 1. Any individual serving on a local emergency planning committee pursuant to appointment by the Oklahoma Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Commission, any duly authorized alternate member to a local emergency planning committee shall be exempt from civil liability for any acts or omissions made in the performance of their official duties which resulted in the direct or proximate harm or injury to any person or property.
2. The immunity provided by this subsection shall only extend to the acts or omissions of the individual while serving in their designated, official capacity.
3. The immunity provided by this subsection shall not extend to intentional torts or grossly negligent acts or omissions of such individual or to the extent specifically stated in the federal Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act.
4. Any action taken by an individual serving on the committee within the scope of his authority pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Hazardous Materials Planning and Notification Act shall be deemed to be the actions of the individual as a member of the committee and not the actions of such individual as a representative of the group or organization nominating such individual.
5. The nomination of any individual to serve on the committee by any group or organization specified in subsection G of Section 689.1 of this title shall not subject such group or organization to any civil liability as a result of such nomination.

2023 Oklahoma Statutes › Title 27A. Environment and Natural Resources › §27A-1012. Legislative findings and declarations.

The Legislature hereby finds that there are one or more public trusts having the State of Oklahoma as beneficiary which hold permits issued under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C., Section 1251 et seq. In some instances, the state beneficiary public trust holding the NPDES permit receives waste water streams from third parties into a central waste water treatment system owned and operated by the public trust, and treats the commingled waste streams in the central waste water treatment system before discharging the resulting effluent pursuant to an NPDES permit into navigable waters of the United States of America located in this state. A state beneficiary public trust such as described in the preceding sentence hereof shall be referred to in this act as a "Central Treatment Trust", or a "CTT". The Legislature finds that there is uncertainty as to whether treatment facilities owned and operated by a CTT constitute "treatment works" that are publicly owned within the meaning of 33 U.S.C., Sections 1292 and 1317(b). The Legislature declares that there is a need to provide a mechanism for resolving this uncertainty. The Legislature further declares that a CTT should have the authority to make the election provided for in Section 3 of this act, whereupon for purposes of owning and operating its waste water treatment facilities only, such a CTT shall have the powers granted to it by Section 4 of this act, and in conjunction therewith, the Department of Environmental Quality, subsequently referred to in this act as "Department", shall exercise the powers granted to it pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 of this act.

A CTT making such an election shall also be deemed to own a "publicly owned treatment works", or "POTW", within the meaning of 40 CFR, Section 403.3(o). Upon the adoption of a resolution exercising such election, the CTT shall promptly give notice of such official action and furnish a certified copy of the Board resolution to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Department and the Oklahoma Secretary of State.

2. To enter into a coordinating agreement with the Department pursuant to which the Department shall exercise the enforcement powers specified in Section 5 of this act with respect to the POTW owned and operated by such CTT.

2023 Oklahoma Statutes › Title 27A. Environment and Natural Resources › §27A-2202. Legislative findings.

A. The Legislature recognizes that historic lead and zinc mining operations have caused severe environmental degradation in areas of this state. The Legislature further recognizes that this degradation has caused the United States Environmental Protection Agency to place large areas within the state, including entire municipalities, on its Superfund National Priorities List of the most seriously contaminated sites in the nation.
B. The Legislature finds that lead poses a unique threat to children six (6) years of age and younger. During this period of their development children are particularly vulnerable to neurological damage caused by lead exposure. The effects of this childhood exposure can continue throughout their lives.
C. The Legislature hereby finds and determines that, as shown by studies conducted by the State Department of Health and the United States Indian Health Service, children six (6) years of age and younger, living in the vicinity of these former mining areas, exhibit blood lead levels above the thresholds considered dangerous to human health, and continued exposure of such children to lead constitutes a significant danger to the health of such children in the future. Further, the Legislature hereby determines a need exists to remedy the problem, by providing incentives for families with children six (6) years of age and younger to relocate outside the area of contamination.
D. The Legislature further recognizes that much of the damage caused by historic lead and zinc mining has resulted in a serious subsidence risk in the affected areas. The United States Army Corps of Engineers has identified municipalities within those areas where the risk of subsidence poses an imminent risk to the public and the Legislature therefore finds that a need exists to remedy this problem by expanding the purpose of this act to provide incentives for those owning or leasing property in the affected areas to relocate to areas of greater safety.

B.
