The Perchlorate Community Right to Know Act would require anyone who has stored or transported more than 375 pounds of perchlorate since Jan. 1, 1950, to report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) no later than June 1, 2005. It also would require anyone who discharged perchlorate into the water to report volumes, method and remedial actions to the EPA by the same date.
All fees and fines for failure to comply will be deposited into a fund for public water suppliers and private well owners to use to purchase clean water if their supply is shut down because of perchlorate contamination.
