H ACNR Nat Res VaLCV Legislative Positions -- We encourage you to SUPPORT HB199, HB745, HB968, HB985. HB 199 (Krizek) This legislation would: Remove the provision in Virginia’s Brownfield program that only permits federal funds to fund the program. Virginia’s Brownfield program provides a $500/kWh incentive for solar projects on former coal mines and a $100/kWh incentive for solar projects on brownfields. Reasons to SUPPORT HB199: This simple fix will allow the Commonwealth to appropriate funds to this program. These modest incentives will help offset the slightly higher cost of projects in these locations. The more projects that are sited on former coal mines and brownfields means less impacts to important natural resources like farms and forests. HB 745 (Laufer) This legislation would establish a mattress stewardship program to network of convenient and free collection sites for post-consumer mattresses, defined in the bill, that will facilitate higher rates of recycling and materials recovery for post-consumer mattresses. Reasons to SUPPORT HB745: Product stewardship programs are one of the best tools to reduce litter and increase recycling. Product stewardship puts responsibility on producers to develop recycling systems for their products. Mattresses contain high-value recyclable materials that can be recovered and used to create new products. According to the Mattress Recycling Council, more than 50,000 mattresses are discarded in the U.S. each day and more than 75 percent of a mattress can be recycled. HB 968 (Lopez) This Legislation Would: Create the Virginia Climate Innovation Authority to finance clean energy projects, greenhouse gas emissions reduction projects, and other qualified projects through the strategic deployment of public funds in the form of grants, loans, credit enhancements, and other financing mechanisms. Reasons to SUPPORT HB 968: Creation of the Virginia Climate Innovation Authority would: Accelerate the adoption of proven clean energy technology and greenhouse gas reduction projects to expand access to untapped markets and to bring benefits to historically underserved communities. Catalyze access to federal funds included in the Inflation Reduction Act, such as the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), a $27 billion commitment to fund “green banks” and other investment vehicles. Use public dollars to leverage private investment. HB 985 (Tran) High polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon; prohibits pavement sealants that contain, civil penalty. This legislation would: Prohibit the use of toxic high-PAH pavement sealants. Reasons to SUPPORT HB985: The Chesapeake Bay Program has prioritized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as the second most important toxic contaminant. PAHs are a class of chemicals that are the byproduct left over from burning coal, oil, gas, or wood. They are cancer-causing chemicals, and human exposure can come through breathing in, ingesting or absorbing through the skin. Pavement sealants with high PAH levels degrade, ultimately releasing dust and fine particles laden with carcinogens into homes, waterways, the soil, and the air. Stormwater runoff from PAH coatings continue to be highly toxic to fish and aquatic organisms months after their application. Low PAH sealants are cost-competitive and in regular use throughout the country.
