R652-122-1000. Allocation of Wildland Fire Suppression Costs to Entity Without Valid Cooperative Agreement

  1. The division shall bill an entity that has not entered into a cooperative agreement with the division as described in Section 65A-8-203, or whose agreement has been revoked pursuant to R652-121-900, for the cost of wildfire suppression accrued by the state within the jurisdiction of that entity.

  2. The cost of wildfire suppression to an entity that has not entered into a cooperative agreement with the division as described in Section 65A-8-203, or whose agreement has been revoked pursuant to R652-121-900, shall be calculated by determining the number of acres burned within the borders of the entity, dividing that number by the total number of acres burned by a wildfire, and multiplying the resulting percentage by the state's total cost of wildfire suppression for that wildfire.

  3. An entity that receives a bill from the division, pursuant to these rules, shall pay the bill, or make arrangements to pay the bill, within 90 days of receipt of the bill, subject to the entity's right to appeal, as described in Subsection 65A-8-203(5)(b)(vi).
