Massachusetts S615 amends liability rules for hazardous material releases, protecting eligible persons from liability if certain conditions are met.
Massachusetts S615 amends the state's environmental laws to alter liability for hazardous material releases. It provides that eligible persons are not liable for substantial releases at properties not previously identified as part of a disposal site if a permanent solution or remedy operations status exists and is maintained. This protection applies even if violations are identified and promptly corrected. The Department of Environmental Protection cannot contest the liability of an eligible person under these conditions.
