(1) This section applies where one or more persons furnish the EPA with a
proposal for the management of significantly contaminated land (a
"voluntary management proposal" ).
(2) The EPA may approve a
voluntary management proposal in respect of one or more of the parties to the
proposal (an
"approved party" ).
(a) the terms of the
voluntary management proposal, as modified by any conditions to be imposed by
the EPA, are appropriate (including any plan of management, provision for
giving notice and terms setting out a timetable or requiring progress
reports), and
(c) the
parties to the proposal have given those persons identified and found a
reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation and carrying out of
the proposal on reasonable terms.
(5) Despite subsection (4), the EPA may
approve a voluntary management proposal even if it is not satisfied as to the
matters set out in subsection (4) (b) and (c), but only if the EPA makes it a
condition of its approval that the parties to the proposal cannot recover
contributions under Division 6.
