Refineries: decommissioning and remediation: cost estimates.
Read second time and amended. Re-referred to Com. on APPR.
Summary
The bill obligates every refinery owner, operator, or controller in California to submit a draft report on how they will shut down and remediate their sites. The State Water Resources Control Board must review the report, allow public comment, and publish the final version online. The goal is to make closure costs transparent and prevent them from falling on taxpayers or local communities.
