Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. In
				accordance with §
									10.1-1232A
				5 of the Code of Virginia, the applicant shall submit a registration fee to
				defray the cost of the program. For applicants submitting an application that
				is received by the department on or after January 29, 2014, and prior to July
				1, 2014, the registration fee submitted and any registration fee refund sought
				shall be in accordance with the requirements of this section. On and after July
				1, 2014, any addition of acreage to a site participating in the program based
				upon an application subject to registration fees under this section shall
				require a new application for the additional acreage, which shall be subject to
				registration fees pursuant to the requirements of
				9VAC20-160-65.
				If the participant elects to subdivide the site or conduct a phased remediation
				project requiring multiple certificates for the site, the additional site shall
				be subject to phase 2 registration fees as required by
				9VAC20-160-65
				C 1 b and phase 3 registration fees as required by
				9VAC20-160-65
				D 6.
B. The preliminary
				registration fee shall be $5,000. Payment shall be required after eligibility
				has been verified by the department and prior to technical review of submittals
				pursuant to
				9VAC20-160-80.
				Payment shall be made payable to the Commonwealth of Virginia and remitted to
				Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 1104, Receipts Control,
				Richmond, VA 23218.
C. Failure to
				remit the required registration fee within 90 days of the date of eligibility
				determination shall result in the loss of eligibility status of the applicant.
				The applicant must reestablish applicant eligibility for participation in the
				program and the eligibility of the site, unless the department agrees to extend
				the period for remitting the registration fee. Once eligibility is lost for
				failure to remit the registration fee pursuant to this subsection, the
				applicant shall submit a new application in order to reestablish applicant
				eligibility for participation in the program and the eligibility of the site
				and shall be subject to the registration fees under the provisions of
				9VAC20-160-65.
D. Upon completion of remediation and
				issuance of the certificate pursuant to
				9VAC20-160-110,
				the participant whose final cost of remediation is less than $500,000 may seek
				a refund of a portion of the preliminary registration fee. The refund amount
				shall be reconciled as the difference between the preliminary registration fee
				and the final registration fee amounts.
1. In
				order to receive a refund, the participant shall provide the department with a
				summary of the final cost of remediation within 60 days of issuance of a
				certificate. The final registration fee amount for such projects shall be
				calculated as 1.0% of the final cost of remediation. The department shall
				review the summary, calculate the refund amount due, and issue a refund to the
				participant.
2. If no summary of
				the final cost of remediation is provided to the department within 60 days of
				issuance of the certificate, the final registration fee amount shall be equal
				to the preliminary registration fee amount, and no portion of the preliminary
				registration fee shall be refunded.
3. Concurrence with the summary of the final
				cost of remediation does not constitute department verification of the actual
				cost incurred.
