Montana Title 75. Environmental Protection § 75-11-407. Viability

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

(1) For the purpose of determining the viability of a responsible party, the department shall presume that:

(a) ongoing businesses or companies and government entities are viable unless there is information suggesting that the presumption is not appropriate and the department determines the information is sufficient to rebut the presumption in a particular case; and

(b) individuals and defunct or insolvent companies are not viable unless there is information suggesting that the presumption is not appropriate and the department determines the information is sufficient to rebut the presumption in a particular case.

(2) The department may not determine that a responsible party is viable based solely on the fact that the owner or operator of the petroleum tank release site is eligible to be reimbursed by the petroleum tank release compensation board established in 2-15-2108 from the petroleum tank release cleanup fund established in 75-11-313.

(3) It is a grant recipient's responsibility to provide the department with sufficient financial information about a responsible party identified in a petroleum brownfields site eligibility application to determine whether the responsible party is a viable responsible party.
