Abstract Long Description

This rule sets up requirements for a program of grants and loans to "local governments" for remedial action. Ecology amended this rule pursuant to RCW 70.105D.070 (3) (a) and (7). The relevant statutes and regulation define "local government" to mean a city, town, or county. (See RCW 70.95.030 and 70.105.010, and WAC 173-322-020.) The intent of remedial action grants and loans is to encourage and speed up the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. The program also intends to lessen the impact of the cleanup on ratepayers and taxpayers. The grants and loans are to supplement local government funding for remedial actions.
