BUNKER HILL – Adds to existing law to establish the Institutional Controls Program.

RS29935 / S1013

The Institutional Controls Program (ICP) is a key component of the remedial actions being implemented for the cleanup at the Bunker Hill Superfund Site (Site). The ICP was established for the Bunker Hill Box in 1991 for Operable Unit 1 (OU-1) and in 1992 for OU-2, and for the Coeur d’Alene Basin in 2002 for OU-3. The ICP has been very successful over the decades at preventing areas that have been remediated within the Site from being re-contaminated.

This legislation moves the authority for the ICP from administrative rule to statute. The regulatory framework for outlining the requirements of the ICP are being moved from a Panhandle Health District rule to a statute. The proposed statute does not substantively alter the ICP. Any differences between the existing health district rules and this statute are attributed to removing outdated, duplicative and unnecessary language, combining text applicable to all OUs, and referencing supporting documents (e.g., Remedial Design Reports). Therefore, there will be no effect on the implementation of the ICP.

This legislation will not alter the current funding levels or mechanisms for the ICP. The ICP is supported through dedicated and federal funding sources and will continue to be in the future.
