DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL

Update Title 22 Regulations to Reflect Statutory Changes per SB 1018

This "change without regulatory effect" filing is in response to SB 1018, Statutes of 2012 which amended or repealed many of the Health and Safety Code sections that authorized Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to adopt regulations to administer various programs. The California Expedited Remedial Action Reform Act of 1994 was repealed by SB 1018, however the budget bill codified Health and Safety Code section 25396 that provides the act continues to apply to sites selected for remediation before the bill took effect on June 27, 2012. DTSC is amending the relevant regulations in Title 22 to reflect that they are applicable to sites selected for remediation prior to June 27, 2012. SB 1018 also repealed the Registered Environmental Assessor Program. DTSC is repealing all the regulations in chapter 52, division 4.5 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations that implemented this program. SB 1018 also repealed several sections in the Health and Safety Code that authorized DTSC to conduct investigations of potential hazardous substances release sites and to prepare a remedial design for the implementation of a response plan for a release site. DTSC is repealing all of the regulations that were adopted pursuant to these statutes in chapter 51, division 4.5 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. DTSC makes other non-substantive changes in response to SB 1018.
