§ 1004-2.420. Release of contaminants.  


Latest version.
  • If any release or any uncontrolled loss of a contaminant, or the discovery of an unremediated environmental condition, occurs on, under or from any franchise property, the grantee shall immediately conduct remedial work, at its sole expense, as is necessary to fully mitigate, remediate, and monitor the contamination in accordance with all applicable laws, and as directed by the county. Nothing in this section waives the grantee's rights to seek recovery from a third party for remedial work. At the county's request, and at no cost to the county, the grantee shall provide all information and documents concerning the release of contaminants or the unremediated environmental condition occurring on, under or from the franchise property, including documents and information relating to remediation of the contamination. If a grantee fails to perform any of its obligations under this section, then the county may perform the remediation and the grantee shall indemnify and reimburse the county for all remediation and related costs incurred by the county.
