New York S03179 amends the definition of coal tar and its use in pavement products.

New York S03179 amends the environmental conservation law to redefine coal tar as a viscous substance obtained by the destructive distillation of coal, including ethylene cracked residues or steam cracked residues, containing levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in excess of one thousand milligrams per kilogram. The bill also adjusts the section number of the law and specifies that it will take effect one year after becoming law.
