Section 591.14.12. Activities performed under contract.

If the owner of an aboveground petroleum storage tank site contracts with another individual or business entity to perform the upgrade or permanent closure activities, the expenses may be submitted to the board for approval upon completion of the work and payment to the contracting party. The board may deny any reimbursement request that does not have accompanying proof of payment in full to the contracting party. If an owner desires approval of costs from the board prior to incurring expenses, the owner may seek and obtain prior approval from the board of the activities to be performed and the expenses to be incurred.
