(2) In adopting these rules, the board shall define the circumstances under which recovery should be pursued and the method to determine the amount of each recovery, which shall be based on costs.    (c) The department may recover from the responsible party or parties actual costs incurred in participation during extraordinary, time-consuming operations such as damage assessment, sampling, monitoring, health studies, and product evaluations which arise from unforeseen circumstances.  (d) All moneys levied and collected under this section are special revenues and shall be deposited into the State Treasury, there to be credited to the Public Health Fund.  (e) Subject to rules as may be implemented by the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State, the disbursing officer for the department may transfer all unexpended funds relative to the recovery of expenditures program that pertain to moneys collected, as certified by the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State, to be carried forward and made available for expenditures for the same purpose for any following fiscal year.
