1512.0600 REIMBURSEMENT OR PAYMENT OF COSTS.

Subpart 1.

General.

A.

An eligible person who has taken corrective action and has incurred costs on or after July 1, 1989, may apply to the board for reimbursement or payment of eligible costs.

B.

Reimbursement for eligible costs incurred is only for costs already paid by the eligible person. Reimbursement will not be made without proof that costs have been paid.

C.

Payment of eligible costs incurred is only for costs that the eligible person is unable to pay.

Subp. 2.

Conditions.

A reimbursement or payment may not be made unless the board determines that the commissioner of agriculture has determined that the corrective action has adequately addressed, or will adequately address, the incident so as to eliminate unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.

An eligible person must seek and report to the board any and all other cost coverage or recovery when making an application for reimbursement or payment from the agricultural chemical response and reimbursement account.

Financial compensation may not be made before the applicant receives approval from the commissioner of agriculture for a corrective action design or for additional necessary corrective actions.

Subp. 3.

Multiple eligible persons.

If more than one eligible person incurs eligible costs for a single incident or for a single corrective action, each eligible person must apply separately to the board. Not more than the maximum amounts under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 18E, may be reimbursed or paid for corrective action costs associated with a single incident site, regardless of the number of eligible persons.
