Coastal Chemical Plans Must Consider Sea Rise
A bill approved Monday by the Senate would require owners of chemical and hazardous facilities along the state’s coastline to update emergency plans to take into account rising water levels due to climate change.
The bill passed unanimously and now heads to the House, where the legislation is also expected to pass.
"Many waste and chemical facilities are in harbors and subject to climate change events," said state Sen. Ted Kennedy Jr., D-Branford. "[The state] estimates there are at least 40 of these facilities and they pose an extreme hazard and risk to our state."
Kennedy said the bill requires owners to take into account the latest climate change and sea rise projections by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA offers four global mean sea level rise scenarios ranging from a rise of eight inches to 6.6 feet by 2100.
