Applicants within counties with populations over 2,000,000.
The remaining funds must be made available to all other
Remediation Applicants in the State.
(3) The Agency must not approve payment in excess of
$750,000 to a Remediation Applicant for remediation costs
incurred at a remediation site. Eligibility must be determined
based on a minimum capital investment in the redevelopment of
the site, and payment amounts must not exceed the net economic

pre-application assessment, which is not to be binding upon
future review of the project, relating only to whether the
Agency has adequate funding to reimburse the applicant for the
remediation costs if the applicant is found to be eligible for
reimbursement of remediation costs. If the Agency determines
that it is likely to have adequate funding to reimburse the
applicant for remediation costs, the Remediation Applicant may
then submit to the Agency an application for review of
eligibility. The Agency must review the eligibility

HB5601 - 56 - LRB103 38592 MXP 68728 b
application to determine whether the Remediation Applicant is
eligible for the payment. The application must be on forms
prescribed and provided by the Agency. At a minimum, the
application must include the following:
(1) Information identifying the Remediation Applicant
and the site for which the payment is being sought and the
date of acceptance into the Site Remediation Program.
(2) Information demonstrating that the site for which
the payment is being sought is abandoned or underutilized
property. "Abandoned property" means real property
previously used for, or that has the potential to be used
for, commercial or industrial purposes that reverted to
the ownership of the State, a county or municipal
government, or an agency thereof, through donation,
purchase, tax delinquency, foreclosure, default, or
settlement, including conveyance by deed in lieu of
foreclosure; or privately owned property that has been
vacant for a period of not less than 3 years from the time
an application is made to the Agency. "Underutilized
property" means real property of which less than 35% of
the commercially usable space of the property and
improvements thereon are used for their most commercially
profitable and economically productive uses.
(3) Information demonstrating that remediation of the
site for which the payment is being sought will result in a
net economic benefit to the State of Illinois. The "net

HB5601 - 57 - LRB103 38592 MXP 68728 b
economic benefit" must be determined based on factors
including, but not limited to, the capital investment, the
number of jobs created, the number of jobs retained if it
is demonstrated the jobs would otherwise be lost, capital
improvements, the number of construction-related jobs,
increased sales, material purchases, other increases in
service and operational expenditures, and other factors
established by the Agency. Priority must be given to sites
located in areas with high levels of poverty, where the
unemployment rate exceeds the State average, where an
enterprise zone exists, or where the area is otherwise
economically depressed as determined by the Agency.
(4) An application fee in the amount set forth in
subdivision (B)(c) for each site for which review of an

include its determination of the "net economic benefit" of the
remediation project and the maximum amount of the payment to
be made available to the applicant for remediation costs. The
payment by the Agency under this subsection (B) must not
exceed the "net economic benefit" of the remediation project.

not be submitted to the Agency unless the Agency has
determined the Remediation Applicant is eligible under
subdivision (B)(d). If the Agency has determined that a
Remediation Applicant is eligible under subdivision (B)(d),
the Remediation Applicant may submit an application for
payment to the Agency under this subsection (B). Except as

be inconsistent with the international obligations of the
United States or the statute or regulations of a foreign
government.

different types of awards. The same applicability applies to
