is established a separate
program within the general fund to be called “the underground storage
tank replacement revolving
loan program” which shall be administered by the general treasurer in
accordance with the same
laws and fiscal procedures as the general funds of the state.
§
46-12-30.1. Legislative findings and intent. – It is the finding
of this general
assembly that the health,
safety, and welfare of many people of the state is being jeopardized by
the failure of underground
storage tanks and the consequent contamination of private drinking
wells and endangering of the
public health and safety by the leaking of toxic substances into
groundwater and the seepage
of toxic fumes that result from such leaks into residences and into
the atmosphere. To assist in
the replacement of tanks that are leaking, or are of an age at which
they are found to be
statistically likely to leak, or are of a design that has proven to be
especially
susceptible to leaks, is a
public purpose that is deserving of remedy. It is, therefore, the intent of
this general assembly to
establish a program to be called “the underground storage tank
replacement revolving loan
program” and that the fund be used to provide the money necessary to
remedy leaking underground
tanks and tanks that are judged by the director of the department of
environmental management to
be likely to leak.
§
46-12-30.2. Definitions and guidelines for replacement and periodic inspection
of
tanks.-
(a) All definitions and guidelines for replacement and periodic inspection of tanks shall be developed by the director of the department of environmental management in conjunction with the director’s efforts to promulgate regulations for underground storage facilities used for petroleum products and hazardous materials, to be promulgated under the authority of this chapter and chapters 17.1 and 35 of title 42;
(b)
The regulations shall require that all underground storage tanks used for
petroleum
products and subject to
registration in this state shall be inspected at least once in each twenty-
four (24) month period.
(c)
Any funds remaining in the underground storage tank replacement revolving loan
program account after repeal
of Section 46-12-30.3 shall be used in accordance with the
provisions of subsections
(a) and (b) of this section and any rules and regulations promulgated
therein.
§
46-12-30.3. Underground storage tank replacement revolving loan program.
– (a)
There is hereby created a
general revenue receipt account within the general fund to be called
“the underground storage
tank replacement revolving loan program” which shall be administered
by the general treasurer in
accordance with the same laws and fiscal procedures as the general
funds of the state. The
program shall be funded by such funds as the state may from time to time
appropriate, which monies
are intended to replace underground tanks which are leaking or are
otherwise eligible for
replacement and funding as determined by standards promulgated by the
director of the department
of environmental management.
(b) All money
appropriated for the program as made available from the issuance of bonds
pursuant to § 46-12-30.5 shall be made available immediately, and are hereby
specifically appropriated to the department of environmental management for the
purpose of making low interest loans (at least two (2) points below the six (6)
month treasury bill rate as certified by the general treasurer on the effective
date of the transaction) to residential and commercial owners of tanks that are
declared eligible under rules and regulations promulgated by the director of the
department of environmental management.
(c)
Loans made under the provisions of this section may be made directly or in
cooperation with other
lenders or any agency, department, or bureau of the federal government or
state of Rhode Island. The
proceeds received from the repayment of any loans made from this
fund shall be deposited in and
returned to the underground storage tank replacement revolving
loan program to constitute a
revolving fund for the purpose listed above.
§
46-12-30.4. Administration of the fund. – The department of
environmental
management shall develop the
criteria by rule and regulation necessary for defining eligible
projects and recipients, and
shall prepare and adopt rules and regulations with respect to loan
generation, disbursement,
payback period, and mortgage covenants.
