An applicant eligible for reimbursement may apply to the board for reimbursement of eligible costs.
A reimbursement may not be made unless the board determines that the commissioner has determined that the corrective action has, or when completed will have, adequately addressed the release in terms of public health, welfare, and the environment.
If there is more than one applicant who incurs reimbursable costs for a single release or at a single corrective action site, each applicant must apply separately for reimbursement. Not more than $1,000,000 may be reimbursed for costs associated with a single release, regardless of the number of persons eligible for reimbursement.
A cost that has been forgiven by a consultant or contractor is not an incurred cost for the purposes of this chapter.
A cost that has been made conditional by the consultant or contractor on a subsequent reimbursement determination is not an incurred cost for the purposes of this chapter.
