Amend the bill by replacing all after the enacting clause with the following:
1 Hazardous Waste Cleanup Fund; Definitions. Amend RSA 147-B:2, VIII-o to read as follows:
VIII-o. "PFAS facility" for closure, removal from service, or decommissioning under [RSA 147-B:10, X] RSA 147-B:10, IX means any site, area, or location where PFAS is or has been used, treated, stored, generated, disposed of, or otherwise come to be located.
2 New Paragraph; Hazardous Waste Cleanup Fund; Strict Liability; Civil Action. Amend RSA 147-B:10 by inserting after paragraph VIII the following new paragraph:
IX. Any person who owns or operates a PFAS facility where a release of PFAS at or from such PFAS facility has resulted in total combined concentrations in groundwater or surface water of 500 parts per trillion or greater of PFAS compounds for which ambient groundwater quality standards have been established pursuant to RSA 485-C, or who owned or operated a PFAS facility at the time of such a release, shall be subject to the provisions of federal regulations in 40 C.F.R. 265.111 and 265.114.

(b) The interior and exterior surfaces of PFAS facility buildings and structures where materials or wastes containing PFAS are or have been used, stored, treated, or otherwise managed. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to limit the applicability of RSA 147-B:10 or RSA 147-B:10-a to releases of PFAS otherwise subject to such sections.
3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
