Was wondering if this bill addresses those companies outside the Commonwealth. I live in the Shenandoah Valley and work in the Shenandoah National Park for over 20 years and the health and well being of the citizens and the environment are being extremely adversely affected by the toxins of these companies. How do we address this problem affecting our citizens, land, water, air now and for future generations. A site below.
