68-215-130. Voluntary registry for persons who own an interest in petroleum sites.
(a) The board shall establish a voluntary registry for persons who own an interest in petroleum sites, including, but not limited to, owners in fee simple and holders as defined in § 68-215-201. The registry shall document the name and address of each registrant, which will be cross-referenced with the petroleum site's facility identification number. Registrants may amend their registrations from time to time to keep the information current. A registrant who has a security interest in a petroleum site shall authorize deletion of its registration within thirty (30) days of satisfaction of the secured debt.
(b) Owners of an interest in petroleum sites wishing to register shall pay an annual fee of five hundred dollars ($500) per site, or such other higher or lower amount established by the board for this fee, based upon the condition of the fund; provided, that the fee shall in no event exceed seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) per site. Upon payment of such fee each year, a registrant shall be entitled to simultaneous notice sent to the address on file in the registry of all notifications from the department to the owner/operators of the facility at the site, including, but not limited to, notices of tank fees, notices of violations, and notices of loss of fund eligibility.
(c) Nothing in this section shall obligate an owner of an interest in a petroleum site to register with the registry or pay the applicable fee or fees; nor shall anything in this chapter entitle the owner of an interest in a petroleum site to the benefits of subsection (b) without registration pursuant to this section and payment of the applicable fee or fees.
