BILL NUMBER:S196 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to comprehensive accident prevention planning by and auditing of petroleum bulk storage facilities in cities with a population of one million or more SUMMARY: Owners and operators of petroleum bulk storage facilities, in cities with a population of one million or more persons, shall be required to undertake comprehensive accident prevention planning and shall hire an independent company to quarterly audit the implementation of the hazard control plan. JUSTIFICATION: Over the years there have been several underground oil spills totalling a reported 17 million gallons discovered underground in New York State, as reported in January of 1989. Since that time there have been several additional spills. In 1988 alone the DEC investigated 10,500 spills, a 400% increase since 1984. The danger to the environment from these spills is great, including water and air pollution.
