DATE: . April 13, 1988
SUBJECT: SB 2396 (Boatwright)
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
Support.SB 2396 (Boatwright) which would prohibit unauthorized discharges into sewer systems,
if amended to give a judge more discretion in imposition of violator penalities. °
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None to the County.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Sanitary Districts are sponsoring SB 2396 (Boatwright) which would prohibit unauthorized
discharges into manholes,cleanouts or other sanitary sewer facilities..SB 2396 responds to concerns
that closure of IT and increased costs of legal disposal of hazardous wastes could stimulate illegal
disposal of hazardous materials into the sewer system.
The Hazardous Materials Commission is concerned that the bill does not clearly give a judge
discretion to impose a fine,jail sentence or neither penalty. The Sanitary Districts have expressed
their willingness to so amend the bill, and will request the amendment from Senator Boatwright.
