Wash. Admin. Code § 173-322A-010 - Purpose and authority
(1) This
chapter recognizes that:
(a) The state
contains thousands of hazardous waste sites that present serious threats to
human health and the environment, including the state's water
resources;
(b) Many of these
hazardous waste sites, such as landfills and port facilities, are owned or
operated by local governments;
(c)
Many of the properties affected by these hazardous waste sites are brownfield
properties, where economic development and other community reuse objectives are
hindered by the presence of contamination; and
(d) The cost of cleaning up these hazardous
waste sites in many cases is beyond the financial means of local governments
and ratepayers.
(2) This
chapter establishes requirements for a program of grants and loans to local
governments for remedial action pursuant to
RCW
70.105D.070(4) and
(8).
(3) The purpose of the remedial action grants
and loans program established by this chapter is to expedite the cleanup and
redevelopment of hazardous waste sites and to lessen the impact of the cleanup
on ratepayers and taxpayers. The remedial action grants and loans shall be used
to supplement local government funding and funding from other sources to carry
out remedial actions.
