Résumé

This chapter of the Maine Revised Statutes adopts the Uniform Environmental Covenants Act. It provides that "environmental covenant" or "covenant" means a servitude arising under an environmental response project and documented in a recordable instrument that imposes activity and use limitations. "Environmental covenant" does not include a municipal ordinance, a voluntary or other remedial action plan or a condition added thereto or an administrative or judicial order, whether unilateral or by consent, that may impose activity or use limitations. It further provides that any person, including a person that owns an interest in the real property, the agency or a municipality or other unit of local government, may be a holder. An environmental covenant may identify more than one holder. The interest of a holder is an interest in real property. When the department is the agency determining or approving the environmental response project pursuant to which an environmental covenant is created, the department shall identify all holders of the environmental covenant and may identify the department as a holder, notwithstanding any other provision of law.
