 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. COONEY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the transportation law, in relation to the storage of
 road salt

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The transportation law is amended by adding a new section
 2 23 to read as follows:
 3 § 23. Storage of road salt. 1. For the protection of road salt, the
 4 department and every municipality, locality, and authority that distrib-
 5 utes road salt shall construct a salt shed within ten years of the
 6 effective date of this section.
 7 2. For the purposes of this section, the term "road salt" shall mean a
 8 mineral form of sodium chloride to melt snow and ice on roads by lower-
 9 ing water's freezing point.
 10 3. Salt sheds should maintain a reasonable separation from streams,
 11 lakes, ponds, private and public potable water wells, groundwater sourc-
 12 es used for public water systems, surface waters of the state, primary
 13 water supplies and principal/sole source aquifers.
 14 4. Salt sheds shall be used year-round to prevent precipitation from
 15 merging with stored salt or salt and sand mixture.
 16 5. Salt storage shed bases and their covers, if applicable, shall be
 17 impermeable. Covers shall be secured against the wind, always remain on
 18 the pile and be of sufficient size to enclose the entire pile and only
 19 be opened to the least needed dimensions necessary for transfer.
 20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
