(a) Bond or other financial assurance forfeiture proceedings shall occur only after the Department provides notice to the owner and any surety in accordance with W.S. 35-11-421 that a violation exists and the Council has approved the request of the Director to begin forfeiture proceedings.

(b) With the approval of the Council, the Director may:

  • (i) Collect forfeited funds from financial assurance provided under these regulations.
  • (ii) Expend forfeited funds to remedy and abate the circumstances for which any financial assurance was provided.

The Wyoming Attorney General may bring suit to recover any costs incurred by the state for closure or corrective action costs not covered by collected financial assurance monies.
