(a) There is established the Voluntary Remediation Escrow Account. The director shall serve as the trustee of the escrow account. The account shall consist of the application fees and reimbursement fees collected by the director pursuant to this part and pursuant to Code Section 12-8-209, and such fees shall be held in an interest-bearing account.
(b) The director is authorized to expend the principal balance of the escrow account for costs incurred in administering the voluntary remediation program including reimbursing state contractors used in the administration of such program. The director is also authorized to expend interest earned on the account for the administration of the voluntary remediation program; provided, however, that interest funds collected must be expended within the same fiscal year in which the interest was earned and any interest not so expended shall be deposited in the state treasury. Any unused funds remaining following the conclusion of a project shall be deposited in the general treasury.
