PTRCB Minimum Application Amount Policy

Effective: January 1, 1998
Executive Director: Jean Riley

Purpose:  To establish a minimum application amount.

  1. Require a minimum application amount of $200.00 with the following exceptions:
    1. When one set of invoices is used to document costs on multiple applications filed together, the aggregate total of these applications must equal or exceed $200.00 (This often occurs when there are multiple releases for the same facility.)
    2. When an application includes only a simple utility or laboratory invoice—reduce the minimum to $100.00.
    3. Allow an application for any amount if the two-year statute of limitations will run before a total of $200.00 in cleanup costs will be realized.
    4. Allow an application for any amount if it is the final submittal for a resolved release. The application must be clearly marked "final." No further applications could be submitted for this release unless it is reopened by DEQ.
    5. Allow an application for any amount if filing it is authorized by Board staff.
  2. Provide an effective date of January 1, 1998.
