(1) The owner or person having legal custody of the abandoned site has submitted to the director a written request to have the tank removed. The request shall be made in the manner established by the secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to include documentation of eligibility for the site to participate in the abandoned tank removal program, proof of ownership, and legal description;
(2) The owner or person having legal custody of the abandoned site has, in writing, waived all claims against the state, its officers, agents, and employees for damages resulting directly or indirectly from the tank pulling or corrective action;
