[25 PA. CODE CH. 16]

Corrective Amendment to § 16.24

[36 Pa.B. 3117]
[Saturday, June 24, 2006]

   The Department of Environmental Protection has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 25 Pa. Code § 16.24 (relating to metals criteria), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau and published at 35 Pa.B. 1223, 1225 (February 12, 2005) and the official text as published in the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 365 (April 2005), and as currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. The entry for lead in the Conversion Factors Table was inaccurately reflected when the amendment was published.

   Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Department of Environmental Protection has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 16.24. The corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 16.24 is effective as of February 12, 2005, the date the defective text appeared in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   The correct version of 25 Pa. Code § 16.24 appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the statement of policy.
