SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 2935 (Johnston)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) a BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 2935 by Assemblyman Johnston.
BACKGROUND:
Assemblyman Johnston has introduced AB 2935 which would establish
a contamination site matrix system as a pilot project in two
counties, one of which would have to be a rural county and the
other an urban county. The system would require that the State
Department of Health Services collect and organize a variety of
specified data by county and make the information available to
the general public and any public agency, upon request. The
Department further would be required to store this data on a
computer for the purpose of managing, cross-referencing, and
indexing the data. The system would be required to be
established by July 1, 1987 and to be updated every three months
thereafter.
The system would be required to include all of the following
data:
1. A listing of facilities where the State believes
corrective action must be taken immediately to prevent
imminent substantial danger to the public health, or
where a person has failed to take corrective action to
clean up a hazardous waste disposal site within the
time specified in an Order issued by the State
Department of Health Services.
2. A list of lands designated as hazardous waste property
or border-zone property by the State Department of
Health Services.
3 . A listing of any public land on which an unauthorized
disposal of hazardous waste has taken place.
4 . A listing of all sites identified for remedial action
in the State Hazardous Substance Account Act.

5 . A listing of all identified abandoned hazardous
substance release sites.
6 . A listing of all underground storage tanks where a
report of an unauthorized release has been required.
7 . A listing of all reports of hazardous substance
releases into the waters of the State.
8 . A listing of all instances where there has been a
release of a hazardous waste from a solid waste
disposal site which has migrated into the water supply.
9. A listing of all cease and desist orders issued where a
regional water quality control board has found that a
waste discharge is taking place in violation of the
requirements of the regional board or the State board.
10 . A listing of all clean-up and abatement orders issued
by a regional water quality control board where a
hazardous waste has been discharged or threatens to be
discharged into the waters of the State.
11. All information provided to the State Department of
Health Services by the Environmental Protection Agency
pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 concerning
hazardous substance release sites.
12. Any other information which any local or State agency
provides the State Department of Health Services
concerning any releases of hazardous materials in
violation of any State or Federal law, regulation, or
permit.
The Health Services Department recommends that the Board support
AB 2935 since it would bring together in one place a great deal
of information currently either not available or available from a
variety of different sources. The objectives of AB 2935 appear
to be consistent with the recently approved recommendations of
the Hazardous Waste Task Force and this office, therefore,
concurs that the Board should support AB 2935 .
