DESCRIPTION
This act permits the Department of Natural Resources to expedite the review of applications to build air containment sources through the use of independent contractors.
After the project and the application bills are approved, then the Department of Natural Resources will bill the applicant for the independent contractor's actual cost. The applicant may agree in advance to the increased cost of the contractual review. If the applicant withdraws an application, the applicant must reimburse the contractor's fees.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
