SUMMARY
This amendment, which is the majority report of the committee, changes the title of the resolve and language in the resolve to broaden the scope of the study to all aboveground petroleum storage tanks instead of just fixed-roof, heated tanks. The amendment also requires the Department of Environmental Protection, as part of the study required in the resolve, to identify methods or programs for assisting municipalities in the use and application of mobile air quality monitoring devices to identify the release of hazardous air pollutants from aboveground petroleum storage tanks. It also requires the department to include recommendations for these identified methods or programs in its required report.
