Art. 32d Bundesgesetz vom 7. Oktober 1983 über den Umweltschutz (USG) - Tragung der Kosten
USG; 2. Titel: Begrenzung der Umweltbelastung; 4. Kapitel: Abfälle
Art. 32d USG · Tragung der Kosten
Der Verursacher trägt die Kosten für notwendige Massnahmen zur Untersuchung, Überwachung und Sanierung belasteter Standorte.
Sind mehrere Verursacher beteiligt, so tragen sie die Kosten entsprechend ihren Anteilen an der Verursachung. In erster Linie trägt die Kosten, wer die Massnahmen durch sein Verhalten verursacht hat. Wer lediglich als Inhaber des Standortes beteiligt ist, trägt keine Kosten, wenn er bei Anwendung der gebotenen Sorgfalt von der Belastung keine Kenntnis haben konnte.
Das zuständige Gemeinwesen trägt den Kostenanteil der Verursacher, die nicht ermittelt werden können oder zahlungsunfähig sind.
Die Behörde erlässt eine Verfügung über die Kostenverteilung, wenn ein Verursacher dies verlangt oder die Behörde die Massnahmen selber durchführt.
Ergibt die Untersuchung eines im Kataster (Art. 32 c Abs. 2) eingetragenen oder für den Eintrag vorgesehenen Standortes, dass dieser nicht belastet ist, so trägt das zuständige Gemeinwesen die Kosten für die notwendigen Untersuchungsmassnahmen.
