While I support the intent of this bill, I must say I think we need some kind of definitions section or something.


Unsafe byproduct is rather vague. Who determines what is unsafe? Is a certain parts per million safe? Who sets that level?

Our environmental services will determine the certain parts per each unsafe byproduct. Unsafe byproduct, in this bill's definition, is something that will negatively effect the river environment, endanger aquatic life, or endanger the river's quality.

I think we should seek to amend the bill in such a fashion so as to be more clear as to the administration. It doesn't have to be complex, but it does have to be functional and practical.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I would think that perhaps an amendment stating that the ultimate enforcement capability is entrusted with a specific agency. And then perhaps that agency or another makes the determination as to what constitutes such byproduct.

Finally, 7th House amendments are not a 100% Yankee list.
