Bill Hazardous materials: California Land Reuse and Revitalization Act of 2004. The California Land Reuse and Revitalization Act of 2004 provides, among other things, that an innocent landowner, bona fide purchaser, or contiguous property owner, as defined, qualifies for immunity from liability from certain state statutory and common laws for pollution conditions caused by a release or threatened release of a hazardous material if specified conditions are met, including entering into an agreement for a specified site assessment and response plan. The act prohibits the Department of Toxic Substances Control, the State Water Resources Control Board, and a California regional water quality control board from requiring one of those persons to take a response action under certain state laws, except as specified. Existing law repeals the act on January 1, 2017. Existing law provides that a person who qualifies for immunity under the act before January 1, 2017, shall continue to have that immunity on and after January 1, 2017, if the person continues to be in compliance with the requirements of the former act. us/states/ca California Legislature 20152016 SB 820 California SB 820 (20152016)
