Ban coal and petroleum coke storage and handling in the city
In Plain English
The city currently allows businesses to store and handle coal and petroleum coke within city limits. This law would immediately prohibit new coal storage facilities from opening. Existing facilities would have to phase out their operations over time. The ban aims to reduce air pollution and health risks from coal dust.
