Palisades Gas &Wash -2- Claim No. 18731 Staff reviews, verifies, and processes claims based on the priority and rank within a priority class. After the State Water Resources Control Board adopts the Priority List, your claim will remain on the Priority List until your Priority Class and rank are reached. At that time, staff will conduct an extensive Compliance Review at the local regulatory agency or Regional Water Quality Control Board. During this Compliance Review, staff may request additional information needed to verify eligibility. Once the Compliance Review is completed, staff will determine if the claim is valid or must be rejected. If the claim is valid, a Letter of Commitment (LOC)will be issued obligating funds toward the cleanup. If staff determine that you have not complied with regulations governing site cleanup, you have not supplied necessary information or documentation, or your claim .application contains a material error, the claim will be rejected. In such event, you will be issued a Notice of Intended Removal from the Priority List, informed of the basis for the proposed removal of your claim, and provided an opportunity to correct the condition that is the basis for the proposed removal. Your claim will be barred from further participation in the Fund, if the claim application contains a material error resulting from fraud or misrepresentation. Record keeping: During your cleanup project you should keep complete and well organized records of all corrective action activity and payment transactions. If you are eventually issued a LOC, you will be required to submit: (1) copies of detailed invoices for all corrective action activity performed (including subcontractor invoices); (2) copies of canceled checks used to pay for work shown on the invoices; (3) copies of technical documents (bids, narrative work description, reports), and;(4) evidence that the claimant paid for the work performed (not paid by another party). These documents are necessary for reimbursement and failure to submit them could impact the amount of reimbursement made by the Fund. It is not necessary to submit these documents at this time; however, they will definitely be required prior to reimbursement. _Compliance with Corrective Action Requirements: In order to be reimbursed for your eligible costs of cleanup incurred after December 2, 1991, you must have complied with corrective action requirements of Article 11, Chapter 16, Division 3, Title 23, Califomia Code of Regulations. Article 11 categorized the corrective action process into phases. In addition, Article 11 requires the responsible party to submit an investigative workplan/Corrective Action Plan (CAP) before performing any work. This phasing process and the workplan/CAP requirements were intended to: 1. help the responsible party undertake the necessary corrective action in a cost- effective, efficient and timely manner; 2. enable the regulatory agency to review and approve the proposed cost-effective corrective action alternative before any corrective action work was performed; and California En vironm ental Protection,agency
