AN ACT relative to landfill closing costs reimbursed by the department of environmental services.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
186:1 Definitions. Amend RSA 149-M:42, III to read as follows:
III. "Eligible costs" means the costs of the closure of a solid waste landfill or municipal incinerator eligible to be covered by the grant established by this subdivision, and shall include costs of hydrogeological and engineering investigation and design, capital construction of closure elements required by rules adopted pursuant to RSA 149-M:7, and construction supervision. Eligible costs shall exclude land acquisition, except for land which is necessary to the physical elements of closure of either an unlined landfill or a municipal incinerator, and any administrative, legal, and fiscal costs related to the closure. "Eligible costs" shall be reduced by amounts received by the municipality from third party sources such as insurance policies, federal assistance, or individuals or entities who have or may have liability for closure costs due to waste disposal activities, but not by benevolent gifts received from third party sources having no liability for closure costs.
186:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
(Approved: May 15, 2002)
(Effective Date: July 14, 2002)
