                                    February 4, 2021
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. ENGLEBRIGHT, LAVINE -- read once and referred to
          the Committee on Environmental Conservation
 
        AN ACT to amend the  environmental  conservation  law,  in  relation  to
          limiting  the exceptions to certain effluent limitations in Nassau and
          Suffolk counties and requiring certain eligible projects for state aid
          involving water pollution control revolving fund  agreements  to  take
          county-wide  or  regional  wastewater planning into consideration when
          determining eligibility
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  3  of  section  17-0809 of the environmental
     2  conservation law, as added by chapter  360  of  the  laws  of  1988,  is
     3  amended to read as follows:
     4    3.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, when effluent
     5  limitations are established they must be at least as  stringent  as  the
     6  effluent  limitations previously required unless the commissioner deter-
     7  mines, through regulation, that an exception is warranted as provided in
     8  section 303(d) and 402(o) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33
     9  U.S.C. sections 1313(d) and 1342(o)) as amended by the Water Quality Act
    10  of 1987; provided, however, no such exceptions may be determined  to  be
    11  warranted in special groundwater protection areas designated pursuant to
    12  article  fifty-five  of  this  chapter  or in Nassau or Suffolk counties
    13  where such discharges will impact marine  waters  within  ten  years  or
    14  less.    In  such  areas, the best available technology shall be applied
    15  with special emphasis on reducing nitrogen pollution.
    16    § 2. Item (e) of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph d of subdivision 1  of
    17  section  17-1909  of  the  environmental conservation law, as amended by
    18  chapter 355 of the laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows:
    19    (e) conforms with applicable rules and regulations of the  department,
    20  including  a  demonstration that design and construction consider future
    21  physical climate risk due to sea level rise, and/or storm surges  and/or

                                                                   LBD03770-02-1

     1  flooding,  based  on  available data predicting the likelihood of future
     2  extreme weather events, including hazard risk analysis data if  applica-
     3  ble; and
     4    (f) includes consideration of county-wide or regional wastewater plan-
     5  ning.
     6    §  3.  Paragraph a of subdivision 2 of section 17-1909 of the environ-
     7  mental conservation law, as amended by chapter 262 of the laws of  2007,
     8  is amended to read as follows:
     9    a.   The  environmental  significance  of  such  potentially  eligible
    10  projects which shall include, but need not be limited to, an  assessment
    11  of  (i)  public  health  and  safety;  (ii)  protection of environmental
    12  resources; (iii) population affected; (iv)  attainment  of  state  water
    13  quality goals and standards; [and] (v) compliance with state and federal
    14  law,  rules  and regulations; and (vi) the extent to which such projects
    15  reflect county-wide or regional wastewater planning;
    16    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately and  shall  apply  to  all
    17  permits issued after such date.
