     115B.402 Illegal actions at qualified facilities. 

    The commissioner may recover under section 115B.17, 
 subdivision 6, that portion of the costs of response actions at 
 any qualified facility attributable to a person who otherwise 
 would be responsible for the release or threatened release under 
 section 115B.03, and whose actions related to the release or 
 threatened release were in violation of federal or state 
 hazardous waste management laws in effect at the time of those 
 actions.  The commissioner's determination of the portion of the 
 costs of a response action attributable to a person under this 
 section, based on the volume and toxicity of waste in the 
 facility associated with the person and other factors reasonably 
 related to the contribution of the person to a release or 
 threatened release, is prima facie evidence that those costs are 
 attributable to the person.
