Mississippi § 53-11-25 - Cessation of storage operations.

§ 53-11-25. Cessation of storage operations.

After cessation of injection into a geologic sequestration facility and upon application by the storage operator, the board shall be authorized to issue a certificate of completion of injection operations upon a showing by the storage operator that the reservoir is reasonably expected to retain mechanical integrity, and that carbon dioxide will reasonably remain emplaced. Nothing in this chapter shall establish or create any liability or responsibility on the part of the board or the state to pay any costs associated with facility restoration from any source other than the performance bond, deposit, other assurance of performance, or financial assurances posted or required pursuant to this chapter, nor shall the board or the state have any liability or responsibility to make any payments for costs associated with facility restoration. The board or its agents, on proper identification, may enter the land of another for purposes of facility assessment or restoration. The board and its agents are not liable for any damages arising from an act or omission if the act or omission is part of a good faith effort to carry out the purpose of this chapter. No party contracting with the state or any of its political subdivisions under the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to be a public employee or agent of the State of Mississippi or any of its political subdivisions.
