(420 ILCS 20/21) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 241-21)
Sec. 21.
Shared Liability.
Any state which enacts the Central Midwest Interstate
Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact and has as its resident a generator
shall be liable for the cost of post-closure care in excess of funds available
from the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility Closure, Post-Closure Care
and Compensation Fund or from any liability insurance or other means of
establishing financial responsibility in an amount sufficient to provide
for any necessary
corrective actions or liabilities arising during the period of post-closure
care. The extent of such liability shall not be in excess of the prorated
share of the volume of waste placed in the facility by the generators of
each state which has enacted the Central Midwest Interstate Low-Level
Radioactive Waste Compact. However, this Section shall not apply to a
party state with a total volume of waste recorded on low-level radioactive
waste manifests for any year that is less than 10 percent of the total
volume recorded on such manifests for the region during the same year.
