	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 922, Soto.  Perchlorate:  information.
   Existing law, with certain exceptions and commencing January 1,
2005, requires the owner or operator of a perchlorate storage
facility, that has stored in any calendar year since January 1, 1950,
over 500 pounds of perchlorate, to submit to the State Water
Resources Control Board certain information.  Existing law defines
"perchlorate" and "perchlorate storage facility" for the purposes of
these provisions.
   This bill, for the purposes of these provisions, would revise the
definition of "perchlorate" and make a technical, nonsubstantive
correction to the provision that defines  "perchlorate storage
facility."


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 13610 of the Water Code is amended to read:
   13610.  Unless the context otherwise requires, the definitions set
forth in this section govern the construction of this chapter:
   (a) (1) Subject to paragraph (2), "perchlorate" means all
perchlorate-containing compounds, including ammonium, potassium,
magnesium, and sodium perchlorate.
   (2) Perchlorate does not include perchlorate located in unused
military munitions, as defined in Section 260.10 of Title 40 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, that were stored on or after January 1,
2004.
   (b) Subject to Section 13610.5, "perchlorate storage facility"
means a facility, not including a military munitions storage facility
within a military installation that meets the Department of Defense
Explosive Safety Board requirements set forth in DOD 6055.9-STD
(Department of Defense Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards),
that stores over 500 pounds of perchlorate in any calendar year.
   (c) For the purposes of this section, "military munitions storage
facility" does not include the entire military installation within
which the military munitions storage facility is located.
