Notwithstanding subsections 2 and 3, the owner 20 or operator, or both, of a tank are liable to the Iowa 21 tanks fund for punitive damages in an amount equal 22 to three times the amount of any cost incurred or 23 moneys expended by the fund as a result of a release of 24 petroleum from the tank if the owner or operator did 25 any of the following: 26 (1) Failed, without sufficient cause, to respond 27 to a release of petroleum from the tank upon, or in 28 accordance with, a notice issued by the director of the 29 department. 30 (2) After May 5, 1989, failed to perform any of the 31 following: 32 (a) Failed to register the tank, which was known to 33 exist or reasonably should have been known to exist. 34 (b) Intentionally failed to report a known release. 35 -10- HF2459.3496 (1) 86 tm/rn 10/ 18

Any amount for which an 9 owner or operator is liable to the Iowa tanks fund, 10 if not paid when due, by statute, rule, or contract, 11 or determination of liability by the department 12 after hearing, shall constitute a lien upon the real 13 property where the tank, which was the subject of 14 corrective action, is situated, and the liability shall 15 be collected in the same manner as the environmental 16 protection charge pursuant to section 424.11, Code 17 2016. 18 6. Joinder of parties. The department has standing 19 in any case or contested action related to the Iowa 20 tanks fund or a tank to assert any claim that the 21 department may have regarding the tank at issue in the 22 case or contested action. Upon motion and sufficient 23 showing by a party to a cost recovery or subrogation 24 action provided for under this section, the court or 25 the administrative law judge shall join to the action 26 any potentially responsible party who may be liable for 27 costs and expenditures of the type recoverable pursuant 28 to this section. 29 7.

risk-sharing or risk-shifting agreement shall not 1 be effective to transfer any liability for costs 2 recoverable under this section. The department may 3 proceed directly against the owner or operator or other 4 allegedly responsible party. This section does not bar 5 any agreement to insure, hold harmless, or indemnify a 6 party to the agreement for any costs or expenditures 7 under this part, and does not modify rights between 8 the parties to an agreement, except to the extent the 9 agreement shifts liability to an owner or operator 10 eligible for assistance under the Iowa tanks fund 11 for any damages or other expenses in connection with 12 a corrective action for which another potentially 13 responsible party is or may be liable. Any such 14 provision is null and void and of no force or effect. 15 9. Later proceedings permitted against other 16 parties. The entry of judgment against a party to the 17 action does not bar a future action by the department 18 against another person who is later alleged to be or 19 discovered to be liable for costs and expenditures 20 paid by the Iowa tanks fund. Notwithstanding section 21 668.5, a potentially responsible party shall not seek 22 contribution or any other recovery from an owner or 23 operator eligible for assistance under the fund for 24 damages or other expenses in connection with corrective 25 action for a release for which the potentially 26 responsible party is or may be liable. Subsequent 27 successful proceedings against another party shall not 28 modify or reduce the liability of a party against whom 29 judgment has been previously entered. 30 10. Claims against potentially responsible parties. 31 a. Upon payment by the Iowa tanks fund for 32 corrective action or third-party liability pursuant 33 to this part, the rights of the claimant to recover 34 payment from any potentially responsible party are 35 -12- HF2459.3496 (1) 86 tm/rn 12/ 18
assumed by the department to the extent paid by the 1 fund. A claimant is precluded from receiving double 2 compensation for the same injury. 3 b.

A claimant may elect to permit the department to 12 pursue the claimant’s cause of action for any injury 13 not compensated by the Iowa tanks fund against any 14 potentially responsible party, provided the attorney 15 general determines such representation would not be a 16 conflict of interest. If a claimant so elects, the 17 department’s litigation expenses shall be shared on a 18 pro rata basis with the claimant, but the claimant’s 19 share of litigation expenses is payable exclusively 20 from any share of the settlement or judgment payable 21 to the claimant. 22 11. Exclusion of punitive damages. The Iowa tanks 23 fund shall not be liable in any case for punitive 24 damages. 25 Sec. ___.
