NR 100-199 - Environmental Protection General
Chapter NR 133 - Radioactive Waste Site Exploration
Section NR 133.04 - Application for an exploration license
Universal Citation: WI Admin Code ยง NR 133.04
Current through August 26, 2024
(1) No person may engage in radioactive waste site exploration without securing an exploration license.
(2) Any person wishing to engage in radioactive waste site exploration shall file an application for an exploration license with the department upon forms prepared and furnished by the department. The application shall be accompanied by the following:
(a) A fee of $300 for the exploration
license.
(b)
1. A bond payable to the department in the
amount of $5,000 conditioned on faithful performance of the provisions of this
chapter.
a. The bond shall be issued by a
surety company licensed to do business in Wisconsin. If the surety company's
license to do business is revoked or suspended, the explorer, within 30 days
after receiving written notice from the department, shall substitute surety
underwritten by a surety company licensed to do business in Wisconsin. Upon
failure of the explorer to make a substitution of surety, the department shall
suspend the explorer's exploration license until substitution has been
made.
b. Each bond shall provide
that the bond may not be canceled by the surety, except after 90 days written
notice to the department by registered or certified mail. Not less than 30 days
prior to the expiration of the 90 day notice of cancellation, the explorer
shall deliver to the department a replacement bond in the absence of which all
radioactive waste site exploration being conducted in this state by the
explorer shall cease.
c. The
department may require that the amount of the bond be increased at any time, if
the department determines that the explorer's current level of activity makes
it likely that the bond may be inadequate to fund the termination of all holes
drilled for which the explorer is responsible.
d. One year after the issuance of the last
certificate of completion, and provided that the explorer is not holding an
exploration license, the department shall release the bond if the department
determines that the explorer has complied with provisions of this
chapter.
2.
Notwithstanding subd. 1. the department may waive the bond requirement for an
explorer who is authorized to engage in radioactive waste site exploration by a
federal agency if the federal agency provides sufficient guarantees that the
explorer or the federal agency will comply with the requirements of the
department relating to termination.
(c) A certificate of insurance certifying
that the explorer has in force a liability insurance policy issued by an
insurance company authorized to do business in this state covering all
radioactive waste site exploration of the explorer in this state and affording
personal injury and property damage protection in a total amount deemed
adequate by the department but not less than $50,000.
