It is estimated to cost $20,000 from the General Fund in FY 2001 to establish the rules and standards required by the bill. These funds will be distributed $10,000 to the Department of Health and $10,000 to the Department of Environmental Quality. Local Health Departments will be responsible to inspect and assess properties for contamimations and their cleanup. Costs to local health departments are estimated at $1000 per site with an estimated 400 labs per year. The bill also provides establishment of a General Fund Restricted Account known as the State Illegal Drug Manufacturing and Storage Site Decontamination Account and fees collected for issuance of contrator certificates. It is estimated that collections for those fees in FY 2001 will be $4000.
