Voluntary site contamination assessment proposals
103I Voluntary site contamination assessment proposals
The Authority may agree not to issue a site contamination assessment order to a person in relation to known or suspected site contamination if the person undertakes to carry out an assessment in accordance with an approved voluntary site contamination assessment proposal.
An agreement under subsection (1) must be in writing and copies of the agreement must be served on the parties to the agreement.
The Authority may, on application by a person, approve a voluntary site contamination assessment proposal if satisfied that the terms of the proposal are appropriate.
The Authority must, if satisfied that the assessment has been carried out and completed in accordance with the approved proposal, notify the holder of the approval in writing that it is so satisfied.
If a notification is given to a person under subsection (4), the person may apply to the Court under Part
11 for an order for payment of the whole or a portion of the costs and expenses of the assessment against others as if the person had carried out the assessment in compliance with the requirements of a site contamination assessment order.
