The bill allows DATCP to contract with a third party to conduct the collection and storage or disposal. The bill requires DATCP or the third party administering the collection program to prioritize collecting from the state and from cities, villages, towns, and counties. Under the bill, any PFAS foams that are collected under the program must be stored in an environmentally safe manner until properly disposed of or treated according to DNR's administrative rules.
