This bill creates a stream of revenue to retire the costs of investigation and 
remediation at the Portland-Bangor Waste Oil Services Sites in Plymouth, Ellsworth, 
Casco and Presque Isle. The Finance Authority of Maine is authorized to issue revenue 
obligation securities in amounts sufficient to cover the clean-up costs. These revenue 
obligation securities are to be retired with funds derived from a premium on motor 
vehicle oil changes. The premium is imposed at the retail level. 
The State, instrumentalities of the State and counties and municipalities are eligible to 
participate in the waste motor oil disposal site remediation program. The revenue 
obligation securities will also cover the shares of those businesses that maintained or 
repaired motor vehicles between 1953 and 1981, or their successors in interest, and that 
had waste motor oil deposited at one or more of the 4 sites. Any business that operated a 
fleet of vehicles for which it performed its own maintenance and repairs and that 
contributed waste motor oil to one or more of the 4 sites is eligible for participation in the 
program. The United States Government and its instrumentalities are not eligible to 
participate in the program.

This bill establishes a Waste Motor Oil Site Remediation Program wit.l-tin which is created the Waste Motor Oil Food 
to be administered by the Finance Authority of Maine. Increasing the Finance Authority of Maine's revenue 
obligation securities limit by $35,000,000 extends the moral obligation of the State. Because this legislation provides 
that monies in the Fund may be used to pay reasonable costs incurred by the authority to administer the fund, the 
Finance Authority of Maine will not require additional General Fund ·appropriations. 
This bill includes a one-time General Fund approlJriation of $11 ,000 in fiscal year 2007-08 for Maine Revenue 
Services' costs to administer the premium on oil changes. 
The bill also imposes a premium on oil changes. The amount of additional Other Special Revenue Funds revenue for 
the \":s((~ Motor Oil Fund can not be determined at this time.
