| * | Antonio Reynoso | | | Air quality monitoring at designated “heavy use” thoroughfares. | Introduction | This local law adds four definitions to Title 24 of the Administrative Code. The definitions are “heavy-use thoroughfare”, “recreational area”, “regulated air contaminant” and “at risk populations”. The bill requires the designation of heavy-use thoroughfares, the installation of street level air monitors at a minimum at two major intersections on every designated heavy use thoroughfare and at every recreational area. The bill also requires the issuance of a report to the mayor and to the speaker of the council containing the results of the air quality monitoring of designated heavy use thoroughfares and recreational areas.
The report must be posted on the department’s website annually, and where the results of the air quality monitoring indicate that levels of any regulated air contaminant constitute a violation of an existing standard for that regulated air contaminant or contribute to an actual or potential danger to public health or the environment or present a health risk to at-risk populations the department of environmental protection along with the departments of transportation and education shall collaboratively identify, develop and require the implementation of corrective mitigation measures that significantly reduce or eliminate short-term and long term exposure risks. | Hearing Held by Committee | |
