(b) (1) On approval of an application, the Department shall
enter into an agreement with the owner of the benefited property
for construction of the project. Each agreement shall specify
that the net project construction cost is to be repaid in full
over a period not exceeding 25 years.
(2) Each agreement shall be placed in the land
records of the political subdivision within which the benefited
property is located and shall constitute notice of the lien on
the property.
(c) Costs to maintain orphaned land reclamation projects
are the sole responsibility of the benefited property owner. The
Department shall periodically inspect these projects and
recommend to the property owner any measures required to maintain
the project.]
[7-514.4.
(a) The Department shall establish a schedule of priorities
for reclamation projects based on the rate of erosion, the nature
and amount of public benefits provided by the project, and any
other factors set forth in rules and regulations that the
Department adopts.
(b) When the Department enters into an agreement for
construction of a project, the Department shall assign to the
project a priority list number.
(c) The Department shall proceed with construction of
projects in accordance with the priority schedule. However, if at
any time the cost of a project at the top of the priority list
exceeds the unobligated balance of the account, the Department
may proceed with construction of a lower priority project.
(d) On satisfactory completion of construction, any
property owner's cash contribution shall be endorsed to the
credit of the contractor. The account shall pay the balance of
the payment due the contractor. Within 30 days after the payment,
the Department shall certify to the Board of Public Works payment
of the construction costs and transmit a copy of the agreement
specifying how the State will be reimbursed for the net project
construction cost.]
[7-514.5.
Engineering, technical, and administrative services required
to implement this subtitle, including review and evaluation or
requests for assistance, design or orphaned land reclamation
projects, supervision over construction of approved projects, and
inspection of completed projects to insure adequate maintenance,
shall be funded as provided in the State budget. Costs of
services enumerated in this section are not project costs and
shall be borne solely by the State.]
