BILL NUMBER: S8657

SPONSOR: STAVISKY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the public health law, in relation to indoor air quality
in ice skating rinks

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill promotes public health by establishing standards for opera-
tion, maintenance, and monitoring of indoor air quality at ice arenas in
New York that use ice resurfacing equipment powered by combustible
fuels, which produce carbon monoxide(CO)and nitrogen Oicncida(NO2):

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Bill § 1 adds a new Title 14 to Article 13 of the Public Health Law :
(PHL), to establish standards for ensuring acceptable indoor air quality
an ice arenas. Specifically, the bill adds, oUr new PHI sections:

§ 1389 .h defines terms used in Title 14, including "Air quality measur-

ing device," "Correction air level" (when CO is between 30 and 125 ppm
and/or NO2 is between 0.5 and 2 ppm), '"Notification air level" (when a
single sample shows. Co is over 60 ppm and/or NO2 is over 1 ppm, or 6
Consecutive samples detect over 30 ppm of CO and/or 0.5 ppm of NO2) and
"Evacuation air level":(when CO is over 125 ppm and/or NO2 is over 2
Ppmò

1359-hh defines the "Officer" who issues certificates of acceptable air
quality as the Commissioner of Health, the health commissioner of a city
with a population of over fifty thousand or of a county or part7 county
health district, the state district health officer in whose jurisdiction
an ice arena is located, any county health director having. 411 the
powers and duties prescribed in PHL 5352, the state district Sanitary
engineer or a Grade 1 public health administrator qualified and
appointed pursuant to Part 11 of the Sanitary Code and serving as prima-
ry administrator of all health programs in a county or part-county
health district.

1389-ii requires ice arena operators to obtain a certificate of accepta-
ble air quality. The issuing officer may suspend, modify or .  revoke a
certificate fox cause, or for a violation of the PHL or any rules or
regulations adopted thereto. The fee for a certificate is $200 and the
officer may require the operator to perform preliminary tests of air
quality in order to characterize the potential fox exposure of ice arena
occupants to CO and NO2..

§ 1389-jj establishes requirements for maintenance Of acceptable air
quality, including monitoring air quality with Air quality measuring
devices on a daily basis; providing a right of entry for the officer at
any reasonable time to conduct an on-site  inspevtion of air quality,
and Setting forth required actions when air levels fall below acceptable
standards.

§ 1389-kk provides for the adoption of necessary rules and regulations,
including authorization for variances when strict compliance would-
result in hardship and provided that public health and safety will not
be endangered thereby. This section also provides` standards for mainte
- nance of an air quality record log in paper or electronic form and
makes provisions for the: assessment of penalties for violation pursuant
to existing PHL sections.  Generally, such penalties would be up to
$2000.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

A recent incident at a Cheektowaga ice rink in Western New York (wherein
over 100 people, including many children, suffered from and were treated
for carbon monoxide poisoning) highlights the urgent need for New York
to join the growing list of states that have created indoor air quality
standards for enclosed ice arenas. The potential for carbon monoxide and
nitrogen dioxide poisoning at indoor ice rinks is well documented, and
that risk is heightened when the ice arena uses resurfacing equipment
powered by combustible fuels.

The popularity of ice hockey and skating means that many young New York-
ers (and their parents and grandparents) are spending substantial
amounts of time in indoor ice arenas and are at risk of adverse health
effects from poorly maintained equipment.

The EPA has advised that indoor ice arenas take steps to minimize this
risk., including establishing a system of regularly monitoring and docu-
menting indoor air quality and properly maintaining resurfacing equip-
ment powered by combustible fuels. Several other states have already
taken steps to address this issue by adopting standards for maintaining
safe indoor air quality in ice arenas. This bill, which is modeled after
existing standards in other states, would protect New Yorkers as well.
