§ 100733
In subsection (a), the words ‘‘response action’’ are
substituted for ‘‘response costs’’ the 1st time the words
appear for clarity and consistency in the new chapter.
§ 100724. Use of recovered amounts
(a) LIMITATION
ON USE.—Response costs and
damages recovered by the Secretary under this
subchapter or amounts recovered by the Federal
Government under any Federal, State, or local
law or regulation or otherwise as a result of de-
struction, loss of, or injury to any System unit
resource shall be available to the Secretary and
without further Congressional action may be
used only as follows:
(1) REIMBURSEMENT.—To reimburse response
costs and damage assessments by the Sec-
retary or other Federal agencies as the Sec-
retary considers appropriate.
(2) RESTORATION AND REPLACEMENT.—To re-
store, replace, or acquire the equivalent of
System unit resources that were the subject of
the action and to monitor and study those
System unit resources. The funds may not be
used to acquire any land or water, interest in
land or water, or right to land or water unless
the acquisition is specifically approved in ad-
vance in appropriations Acts. The acquisition
shall be subject to any limitations contained
in the legislation establishing the System
unit.
(b) EXCESS AMOUNTS.—Any amounts remaining
after expenditures pursuant to paragraphs (1)
and (2) of subsection (a) shall be deposited in the
Treasury.
