> It is important to note that when the State Water Board grants a waiver of the permit requirements, claimants must pay a higher deductible on their claim, depending upon the date that the claimant complied with the UST permitting or closure requirements. Claimants who comply on or before December 22, 1998, must pay twice the amount of deductible that would otherwise apply to the claim, but in no event less than $10,000. Claimants who comply after December 22, 1998, must pay a deductible that is four times the amount that would otherwise apply to the claim, but in no event less than $20,000.
