58:10B-3.2 Annual charge for prompt remediation of certain industrial properties; inapplicability.
3. a. Except as provided in subsection b. of this section, whenever an industrial property that is subject to any federal or State court order, or administrative action or order, for environmental remediation becomes vacant or underutilized, the municipality in which the property is located may assess an annual charge to ensure the prompt remediation of the property. The charge shall not exceed the difference between the amount of property taxes paid on the property in the last year of full industrial operation and the amount of property taxes paid on the property for the current year. Unpaid charges shall constitute a lien on the property and shall be collected in the same manner as property taxes. The municipality shall deposit any funds collected pursuant to this section with the Commissioner of Environmental Protection, who shall credit the amounts deposited against the property owner's environmental remediation liability pursuant to law.
b. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any property for which a remediation trust fund has been established pursuant to the provisions of section 25 of P.L.1993, c.139 (C.58:10B-3).
