Iowa Admin. Code r. 591-13.8 - Selection of a consultant when the plume of contamination is attributable to eligible and noneligible sites

(1) The board shall include all sites sharing a common plume if each party agrees in writing to pay for their costs as determined by these rules. The board shall attempt to negotiate inclusion prior to corrective action design or actual cleanup.

(2) The board shall determine on a case-by-case basis whether to include and pay for the cost on the corrective action design and cleanup of a noneligible, insolvent or site with limited benefits. If agreement cannot be reached before starting corrective action, based on its impact to the project as a whole, the board shall seek cost recovery on any funds expended on a site with limited benefits that was insolvent or noneligible.

(3) All costs shall be prorated among the sites included in the project.
