Résumé

This chapter of the Alaska Statutes regulates hazardous substance release control. It provides that a person who causes a release of a hazardous substance shall make reasonable efforts to contain and clean up the hazardous substance promptly after learning of the release, unless the commissioner determines (1) after consulting the Environmental Protection Agency or appropriate public safety agencies, that containment or cleanup is technically infeasible; (2) that containment or cleanup would cause greater environmental damage than if the release were not contained or cleaned up; or (3) that containment or cleanup would pose a greater threat to human life or health than if the release were not contained or cleaned up. The chapter further provides for report of hazardous substance releases; containment and cleanup of a released hazardous substance; disaster emergencies; and hazardous substances containment and cleanup.
