Victor And Erlinda Hernandez -2- <br /> It is important to note that when a claimant failed to apply for or obtain the permits <br /> required pursuant to Chapter 6.7, Division 20, of the H&SC, and the State Water Board <br /> grants a waiver of the permit requirements, claimants must pay a higher deductible on <br /> their claim, depending upon the date that the claimant complied with the UST permitting <br /> or closure requirements. Claimants who comply on or before December 22, 1998, must <br /> pay twice the amount of deductible that would otherwise apply to the claim, but in no <br /> event less than $10,000. Claimants who comply after December 22, 1998, must pay a <br /> deductible that is four times the amount that would otherwise apply to the claim, but in <br /> no event less than $20,000. In this case, you will be responsible for the first <br /> $10,000 of eligible corrective action costs before the Fund coverage begins. <br /> Compliance Review: Staff reviews, verifies, and processes claims based on the priority <br /> and rank within a priority class. After the Board adopts the Priority List, your claim will <br /> remain on the Priority List until your Priority Class and rank are reached. At that time, <br /> staff will conduct an extensive Compliance Review at the local regulatory agency or <br /> Regional Water Quality Control Board. During this Compliance Review, staff may <br /> request additional information needed to verify eligibility. Once the Compliance Review <br /> is completed, staff will determine if the claim is valid or must be rejected. If the claim is <br /> valid, a Letter of Commitment will be issued obligating funds toward the cleanup. If staff <br /> determine that you have not complied with regulations governing site cleanup, you have <br /> not supplied necessary information or documentation, or your claim application contains <br /> a material error, the claim will be rejected. In such event, you will be issued a Notice of <br /> Intended Removal from the Priority List, informed of the basis for the proposed removal <br /> of your claim, and provided an opportunity to correct the condition that is the basis for <br /> the proposed removal. Your claim will be barred from further participation in the Fund, if <br /> the claim application contains a material error resulting from fraud or misrepresentation. <br /> Record keeping: During your cleanup project you should keep complete and well <br /> organized records of all corrective action activity and payment transactions. If you are <br /> eventually issued a Letter of Commitment, you will be required to submit: (1) copies of <br /> detailed invoices for all corrective action activity performed (including subcontractor <br /> invoices), (2) copies of canceled checks used to pay for work shown on the invoices, (3) <br /> copies of technical documents (bids, narrative work description, reports), and (4) <br /> evidence that the claimant paid for the work performed (not paid by another party). <br /> These documents are necessary for reimbursement and failure to submit them could <br /> impact the amount of reimbursement made by the Fund. It is not necessary to submit <br /> these documents at this time; however, they will definitely be required prior to <br /> reimbursement. <br /> California En vironmental Protection Agency <br /> C.,Recycled Paper <br />
