SB 812: Stronger oversight of hazardous waste

Would have provided the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) with the tools necessary to protect Californians from harmful hazardous waste practices. New tools would have included authority to enforce limits on facilities operating under expired permits, increased public access to violations and permitting status, improved comprehensive permitting standards, and strengthened financial resources to ensure that violators, not tax-payers, were responsible for the financial costs of clean up.
