34A-2B-10. Lien on property--Notice--Priority of lien--Exceptions. All corrective action costs expended pursuant to this section constitute a lien on the property where the discharge occurs when a notice of lien is filed with the register of deeds in the county in which the property is located. The notice of lien shall contain a description of the property of the responsible person upon which the lien is made, a description of the property from which the discharge requiring corrective action or emergency remedial efforts occurred, and a statement of the corrective action costs expended from the environmental livestock cleanup fund. Upon entry, the lien shall attach to all real property of the responsible person. The lien has priority over all other claims or liens on the property, except those which had been perfected before the department's filing of the notice of lien. No lien may be filed if a responsible person cannot be identified or if negligence was not a factor in the discharge.
