Sec. 20114c.

    (1) If remedial actions at a facility satisfy cleanup criteria for unrestricted residential use, land use or resource use restrictions or monitoring is not required.
    (2) Upon completion of remedial actions at a facility for a category of cleanup that does not satisfy cleanup criteria for unrestricted residential use, the person conducting the remedial actions shall prepare and implement a postclosure plan for that facility. A postclosure plan shall include both of the following:
    (a) Land use or resource use restrictions as provided in section 20121.
    (b) Permanent markers to describe restricted areas of the facility and the nature of any restrictions. A permanent marker is not required under this subdivision if the only applicable land use or resource use restrictions relate to 1 or more of the following:
    (i) A facility at which remedial action satisfies the cleanup criteria for the nonresidential category under section 20120a(1)(b).
    (ii) Use of groundwater.
    (iii) Protection of the integrity of exposure controls that prevent contact with soil, and those controls are composed solely of asphalt, concrete, or landscaping materials. This subparagraph does not apply if the hazardous substances that are addressed by the barrier exceed a cleanup criterion based on acute toxic effects, reactivity, corrosivity, ignitability, explosivity, or flammability.
    (iv) Construction requirements or limitations for structures that may be built in the future.
    (3) A person who implements a postclosure plan shall provide notice of the land use or resource use restrictions to the department and to the zoning authority for the local unit of government in which the facility is located within 30 days after recording the land use or resource use restrictions with the register of deeds.
    (4) Implementation of remedial actions does not relieve a person who is liable under section 20126 of that person's responsibility to report and provide for response activity to address a subsequent release or threat of release.
    (5) Implementation by any person of remedial actions without department approval does not relieve that person of an obligation to undertake response activities or limit the ability of the department to take action to require response activities necessary to comply with this part by a person who is liable under section 20126.
