The proposed section outlines factors that may be used by the Division director in determining whether to recover expenses incurred by the division for managing and overseeing the abatement, and investigation or corrective action of releases not covered by the PST Fund. These factors include: 1) the responsible party's ability to pay, and 2) other relevant factors the director determines to be appropriate. The responsible party may apply for an exemption from paying these expenses. The director may grant an exemption based upon the application and supporting documentation, considering the factors outlined in the section.
