Note: "PECFA Efficiency Project" refers to a study conducted by the department.
(2) EXISTING SITE CAPS OR ESTIMATES. The department may require a redetermination of costs for any existing site to establish a total cost, excluding interest but including all closure costs, to achieve the status of a closed remedial action. After reviewing the total cost, the department may do any or a combination of the following: approve and establish a cap on total costs, excluding interest; deny approval of costs; approve system enhancements; bundle the site with another remediation(s); or direct the site through a public bid process to establish a lower site cost. A claimant may elect either to implement the alternative or to select another alternative. If the claimant elects to implement a higher cost remedial strategy, the claimant shall notify the department in writing of the intent to use a higher cost alternative. The notification shall include the statement that the claimant agrees that the department-approved alternative establishes the maximum reimbursable amount for consulting and commodity services under the fund and that additional costs for the occurrence, excluding interest, will not be submitted to the fund.
