|
0022| A. Unless provided otherwise in this section, all
|
0023| costs in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) that are
|
0024| necessary to perform a minimum site assessment in accordance
|
0025| with the regulations of the board shall be paid from the
|
0001| corrective action fund. In the event that an owner or operator
|
0002| has performed a minimum site assessment after March 7, 1990 but
|
0003| prior to March 9, 1992 and has expended more than ten thousand
|
0004| dollars ($10,000), the owner or operator may apply to the
|
0005| department for reimbursement of the costs of the minimum site
|
0006| assessment in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and shall
|
0007| be entitled to reimbursement of those costs to the extent that
|
0008| money is available.
|
0009| B. An owner or operator who has performed or who has
|
0010| made arrangements to perform corrective action after March 7,
|
0011| 1990 and in accordance with applicable environmental laws and
|
0012| regulations may apply to the department for payment of the costs
|
0013| of corrective action, other than a minimum site assessment, and
|
0014| shall be entitled to payment of those costs from the corrective
|
0015| action fund, if he has proven to the department that he has
|
0016| complied with the requirements of Section 74-6B-8 NMSA 1978 and
|
0017| if money is available in the fund.
|
0018| C. Payment of the cost of corrective action,
|
0019| including the cost of a minimum site assessment, shall be made
|
0020| by the department following application and proper documentation
|
0021| of the costs and in accordance with regulations adopted by the
|
0022| secretary establishing eligible and ineligible costs. Eligible
|
0023| costs for payment are those reasonable and necessary costs
|
0024| actually incurred after March 7, 1990 in the performance of a
|
0025| site assessment and for corrective action that are consistent
|
0001| with the department's fee schedule. Ineligible costs include
|
0002| attorneys' fees, repair or upgrade of tanks, loss of revenue and
|
0003| costs of monitoring a contractor.
|
0004| D. The department shall adopt regulations to provide
|
0005| for payments from the corrective action fund, to the extent that
|
0006| money is available in the fund, to persons who cannot afford to
|
0007| pay all or a portion of the initial ten thousand dollar
|
0008| ($10,000) cost of a minimum site assessment otherwise required
|
0009| in this section. The department shall develop a financial
|
0010| assistance means test, including a sliding scale of financial
|
0011| relief as the department deems appropriate, that allows some or
|
0012| all of the minimum site assessment costs to be paid from the
|
0013| corrective action fund. This financial assistance relief shall
|
0014| be available to owners or operators who performed or made
|
0015| arrangements to perform corrective action after March 7, 1990.
|
0016| E. All department determinations concerning the
|
0017| manner of payment, compliance and cost eligibility shall be made
|
0018| in accordance with department regulations.
|
0019| F. If the owner or operator is in compliance with
|
0020| the requirements of Subsection B of Section 74-6B-8 NMSA 1978,
|
0021| payment of costs from the corrective action fund shall occur not
|
0022| later than [ninety] thirty days after the submission of the
|
0023| application and proper documentation of costs by the owner or
|
0024| operator, except as provided in Section 74-6B-14 NMSA 1978.
|
0025| G. The department shall reserve not less than
|
0001| twenty-five percent of the unexpended, unencumbered balance of
|
0002| the corrective action fund on July 1 of each year for the
|
0003| payment of claims made on the fund."
