New Jersey Statutes, Title: 58, WATERS AND WATER SUPPLY

    Chapter 10a:

      Section: 58:10a-37.6: Application for financial assistance; fee.

           6. An eligible owner or operator seeking financial assistance from the fund shall file an application on a form to be developed by the authority. The application form shall be submitted with the application fee. The application fee per facility for residential petroleum underground storage tanks shall be $250. The authority may establish the application fee per facility for nonresidential petroleum underground storage tanks.

The authority shall adopt rules and regulations listing the filing requirements for a complete application for financial assistance. If a financial assistance application is determined to be incomplete by the authority, an applicant shall have 30 days from the date of receipt of written notification of incompleteness to file such additional information as may be required by the authority for a completed application. If an applicant fails to file the additional information within the 30 days, the filing date for that application shall be the date that such additional information is received by the authority. If the additional information is filed within the 30 days and is satisfactory to the authority, the filing date for that application shall be the initial date of application with the authority. Notwithstanding the above, if a completed application has been submitted and the applicant fails to submit the filing fee, then the filing date for the application shall not be established until the date on which the authority receives the application fee. A change in the filing date resulting from failure to submit a completed application or from failure to submit the application fee in a timely fashion for applications filed for financial assistance for a regulated tank to meet the upgrade or closure requirements pursuant to 42 U.S.C. s.6991 et seq. or P.L.1986, c.102 (C.58:10A-21 et seq.) or for the remediation of a discharge from any such regulated tank shall not render the application ineligible for financial assistance as long as the initial date of application is prior to June 30, 2010, or for a regulated tank that is not operational, 18 months from the date of discovery of the tank or June 30, 2010, whichever is later.

An applicant shall have 120 days from receipt of notice of approval of a financial assistance award to submit to the authority an executed contract for the upgrade, closure, or remediation, or all three, as the case may be, that is consistent with the terms and conditions of the financial assistance approval. Failure to submit an executed contract within the allotted time, without good cause, may result in an alteration of an applicant's priority ranking.

L.1997,c.235,s.6; amended 1999, c.89, s.2; 2003, c.148, s.4; 2007, c.10, s.1.
