Short description: 
EPA-UST-FORMS-LEGAL COSTS                                                  

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Environmental Protection Act to provide that a portion      
   of a site or facility used for  treatment  of  petroleum  contaminated      
   materials  and  for storage of petroleum contaminated materials before      
   treatment is not a pollution control facility for purposes of the Act.      
   Allows persons completing documents  required  under  the  Underground      
   Storage  Tank  Title  of  the  Act  to use forms not prescribed by the      
   Agency, except in the case of certain cover sheets or  certifications.      
   Provides that legal defense costs are recoverable as corrective action      
   under  that  Title if incurred by the owner or operator of an affected      
   site or underground storage tank in the course of  appealing  a  final      
   Environmental  Protection  Agency decision to recover other corrective      
   action costs.                                                               
          FISCAL NOTE (EPA)                                                    
          The fiscal impact of HB 757 on EPA would be an annual reduc-         
          tion in the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Fund. The amount        
          of that reduction is unclear as it is based upon an undeter-         
          mined number and cost of appeals however, it is anticipated          
          that it will significantly reduce the amount of funds available      
          for reimbursing corrective action costs.
