S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 10115 I N A S S E M B L Y April 29, 2022 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. McDONALD -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Environmental Conservation AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to prohibiting the use of ash from burning hazardous waste in commercial products THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The incineration of hazardous waste produces fly ash, flue gas emission control waste, and slag (hereinafter collectively as "hazardous waste ash"). Hazardous waste ash may contain chemicals and heavy metals such as arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, and nickel, which are all potentially toxic to humans and are known to cause or contribute to cancer, lung and heart ailments, liver and kidney damage, neurological damage, and premature mortality. Hazardous waste ash may also contain mineralogical toxins such as fine crystalline when the feedstock to the industrial process contain silica. Fine particulate crystalline silica induces silicosis when inhaled and is a known respiratory health risk. Hazardous waste ash may be inhaled and become lodged in the deepest parts of the human respiratory system, leading to potentially fatal inflammation and immunological reactions. Under certain existing commercial practices, hazardous waste ash is included in aggregate material used to formulate commonly encountered compounds such as concrete, pavement, and other compounds found in commerce. The inclusion of hazardous waste ash in aggregate material and commonly encountered compounds exposes the public to potentially toxic substances and endangers public health. § 2. The environmental conservation law is amended by adding a new section 19-0304-a to read as follows: § 19-0304-A. PROHIBITION ON THE USE OF HAZARDOUS WASTE ASH IN COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS. 1. NO PERSON SHALL MIX, COMBINE OR BLEND HAZARDOUS WASTE ASH WITH ANY COMMERCIAL PRODUCT. THIS PROHIBITION SHALL ALSO APPLY TO ANY MATERIAL COLLECTED FROM FINE-PARTICLE CONTROL DEVICES SERVING AS POLLUTION CONTROL OR CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS AT ANY HAZARDOUS WASTE INCINERATOR OR KILN THAT IS PERMITTED BY THE DEPARTMENT TO RECEIVE AND COMBUST HAZARD- OUS WASTE WITH OR WITHOUT ENERGY RECOVERY.
