Summary
This bill would clarify that domestic, commercial, or industrial wastewater, sewage, or sewage sludge collected by or expelled from a sanitary sewer system or a public sewage treatment plant does not constitute a hazardous substance under the "Spill Compensation and Control Act," P.L.1976, c.141 (C.58:10-23.11 et seq.). Current law expressly excepts sewage and sewage sludge from the definition of a hazardous substance under the "Spill Compensation and Control Act." This bill would clarify that this exception for sewage and sewage sludge includes domestic, commercial, or industrial wastewater, sewage, or sewage sludge collected by or expelled from a sanitary sewer system or a public sewage treatment plant.
