Section 333-040-0050 - Determination of Unfitness for Use

(1) The determination that a property is unfit for use applies to any property that is known to have been used as an illegal drug manufacturing site, or for which there are reasonable grounds to believe that the property has been used as an illegal drug manufacturing site.

(2) Any owner of a property that was an illegal drug manufacturing site prior to August 3, 1989 may obtain a Certificate of Fitness by following all the procedures and meeting all the criteria of these rules.

(3)An agency determining property unfit for use shall proceed as follows:

(a) Notify the owner or agent of the affected property by personal service or by certified mail sent within 3 working days of the determination. Proof of such mailing shall be considered service. Proof of actual delivery is not required. Where the owner of record or the title or certificate holder is not listed in public records or cannot be reasonably notified, service of notice on the registered agent or other designated agent is sufficient;

(b) Mail a copy of the notice to the owner/agent as required in subsection (3)(a) of this rule to the Division. The Division shall notify the State Building Codes Division, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the State Marine Board and/or other affected agencies; and

(c) Post a standard warning notice provided by the Division at all entrances to the contaminated property at the time of the determination. Such notice(s) shall be displayed continuously until a Certificate of Fitness has been issued by the Division.

(4) The notice required in subsection (3)(a) of this rule shall include all of the specific information in the sample notice available from the Division, but need not be identical in form. This notice shall also include a statement that the owner may obtain a hearing by making a written request to the agency making the determination within 30 days.
