A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ALLOW THE SECRETARY OF ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO CONTRIBUTE TEN PERCENT OF THE COST OF A VOLUNTARY REMEDIAL ACTION PROGRAM FOR AN INACTIVE HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE OR WASTE DISPOSAL SITE FROM THE INACTIVE HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP FUND.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 130A-310.9(b) reads as rewritten:
"(b)	The Secretary may enter into an agreement with an owner, operator, or other responsible party which provides for implementation of a voluntary remedial action program in accordance with a remedial action plan approved by the Department.  Investigations, evaluations, and voluntary remedial actions are subject to the provisions of G.S. 130A-310.1(c), 130A-310.1(d), 130A-310.3(d), 130A-310.5, 130A-310.8, and any other requirement imposed by the Department.  In order to assure the timely and effective implementation of a voluntary remedial action program at any inactive hazardous substance or waste disposal site that substantially endangers the public health or the environment, the Secretary may contribute up to ten percent (10%) of the cost of the remedial action program, to a maximum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), from the Inactive Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund.  At least 30 days prior to entering into any agreement providing for the implementation of a voluntary remedial action program, the Secretary shall mail notice of such proposed agreement as provided in G.S. 130A-310.4(c)(2).  Sites undergoing voluntary remedial actions shall be so identified as a separate category in the inventory of sites maintained pursuant to G.S. 130A-310.1 but shall not be included on the Inactive Hazardous Waste Sites Priority List required by G.S. 130A-310.2."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
