The Fund reasonably expects to have available funding for these budgets in the upcoming fiscal year. The Fund anticipates that we will be able to pay reimbursement requests made against these individual claim budgets in a timely manner. The Fund will not be able to pay any costs in excess of these site budgets in a timely manner. In general, most claims will not receive the requested budget amount. The Fund expects to have approximately $107 million available in FY 11/12 for claim budgets. We received budget requests for approximately $254 million. The Fund allocated the available money for claim budgets using the following general considerations: • Claim priority: A, B, or C. Priority D claims are already limited to 14% minimum by statute, and have therefore been excluded from the budget allocation process for now. • Amount requested by claimant . • 'Reasonable and necessary evaluation by Fund staff of requested budget and scope of work. • Five Year Review results: If a Five Year Review recommended a site for closure consideration, only costs directly related to site closure, such as monitoring well abandonment, were budgeted. • Total amount of funding available for budgets. as Claim Activity: Inactive claims (those claims that have not submitted a reimbursement request since January 1, 2008, or a budget request for FY 11/12) were budgeted at zero dollars. These claims will be evaluated by the Fund for final audit and claim closure. • Phase of corrective action the claim is anticipated to be in in FY 11/12. As an example, within a priority class, sites currently in the operation and maintenance phase of active remediation received larger allocations as necessary to keep existing cleanups progressing. • Claims in the School District Account and/or the Commingled Plume Account are being budgeted separately, and are not included in the attached table.
