1. The contaminant of concern at the subject property should be identified. If no contaminant of concern has been identified, there should be at least one recognized environmental condition documented at the site.2. The subject property must be assessed by the department to determine if the site conditions support the listing of the site, and to determine the priority of the listed site.3. The subject property may not be eligible for, or should have exhausted, any other state or federal funding sources. Private funding sources may still be available.4. The responsible party must be identified, if possible.5. Any other information the department deems relevant.N.D. Admin Code 33.1-04-02-02
