§2195.11. Voluntary cleanup; private contracts; exemptions

Nothing in R.S. 30:2194 through this Section shall be deemed to prohibit a person from conducting site rehabilitation and remediation through approved response action contractors. Voluntary rehabilitation of contaminated sites shall be encouraged by the department provided that such rehabilitation and remediation is conducted in a manner and to a level of completion which will protect the public health, safety, and welfare and will minimize damage to the environment. To accomplish this purpose, the department shall promulgate rules and regulations for the approval and compensation of response action contractors. Response action contracts shall not be construed as state contracts, and said contracts shall be exempt from the public bid laws as provided in R.S. 30:2031.
