B. Any person eligible under this subsection 3 who presents an invoice for that person's share of total response costs at the site, but who has not yet paid the invoice, receives a negotiable instrument from the authority made payable jointly to that person and any entity identified by the Department of Environmental Protection as assuming liability for total response costs at the site. The negotiable instrument must be in the amount of $2,000, unless the authority determines that the payment to be made by the person at the site will be in an amount less than $2,000, in which case the authority shall pay to the person an amount equal to the amount the person is to pay in relation to the site. All payments made under this subsection must be from funds transferred from the Maine Rainy Day Fund.

C. After the payments authorized in paragraphs A and B have been made, additional payments must be made from the available balance from funds transferred from the Maine Rainy Day Fund to all persons who received funds under paragraphs A and B who have paid their settlement share of total response costs, and whose total liability at the site

exceeds the amount the persons received under paragraph A or B. Distributions under this paragraph are proportionate to the amount each person paid as the person's share of total response costs at the site. Payments made pursuant to this subsection may not exceed the person's settlement share of total response costs attributable to eligible persons as defined in this subsection multiplied by the total orphan share percentage at the waste oil disposal site. The authority may not issue deferred loans for eligible persons who have received payments pursuant to this subsection. This distribution must occur on April 1, 2000. Any remaining funds in the fund must be transferred to the Groundwater Oil Clean-up Fund.
