(1) | The Legislature finds the language in this part, prior to the passage of this act, did not clearly set forth procedures for identifying responsible parties and allocating among those parties response costs at sites where hazardous substances or materials have been released. This lack of clarity has interfered with effective allocation of costs of cleanup as required by this part. |
(i) | the owner or operator of a facility; |
(ii) | any person who, at the time any hazardous substance or material was disposed of at the facility, owned or operated the facility; |
(iii) | any person who arranged for disposal or treatment, or arranged with a transporter for transport, for disposal, or treatment of hazardous materials or substances owned or possessed by the person, at any facility owned or operated by another person and containing the hazardous materials or substances; or |
(iv) | any person who accepts or accepted any hazardous materials or substances for transport to a facility selected by that person from which there is a release that causes the incurrence of response costs. See Utah Code 19-6-302 |
(2) | It is the intent of the Legislature that this act provides clarification of the Legislature’s original intent to facilitate cleanups of hazardous substances or materials by providing clarification of procedures for allocating liability and response costs. |
