Toxics:
Permanent treatment and destruction of PCBs

Our Position: oppose
Bill Number: AB40
Sponsor:
Legislative Session: 2007-08

AB40 prohibits the disposal in solid waste disposal facilities of dredged material that contains polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Sierra Club supports permanent treatment and/or destruction of PCBs.  Contaminated dredged material that cannot be treated should be placed in a segregated cell in TSCA approved land fill, reclaimed for treatment later with effective treatment technologies.
