3. Owner is a resident of the State of Oklahoma or the service

obtained from the Department of Environmental Quality a license to

operate a highway remediation and cleanup service. The license

number shall be displayed, in conformance with rules of the

Department, on both sides of every vehicle operated by the highway

remediation and cleanup service. This section shall not apply to

the Oklahoma Department of Transportation or the Oklahoma Turnpike

C. The license fee required by this section shall be in lieu of

the motor carrier filing fee as required in Section 165 of Title 47

of the Oklahoma Statutes. It shall not be necessary for any

license, and the Department shall issue such license without public

hearing. The fee for such license shall be Ten Thousand Dollars

($10,000.00).

D. All licenses shall expire on the last day of the calendar

year and may be renewed annually at a cost of One Thousand Dollars

($1,000.00) upon application to the Department as prescribed by

rule. No license fee shall be refunded in the event that the

license is suspended or revoked.

E. The Department is authorized to issue notices of violation

and compliance orders and to suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue or

renew the license of an operator when it finds the licensee or

applicant has not complied with or has violated any of the

provisions of this act, or any rules adopted by the Board. A

suspension shall be for a period of time deemed appropriate by the

Department for the violation. An operator whose license has been

revoked may not apply for one (1) year. Any suspended or revoked

license shall be returned to the Department by the operator. An

operator whose license is revoked by the Department shall be

required to pay an additional fee of Ten Thousand Dollars

($10,000.00) for reinstatement if such reinstatement is authorized

by the Department.

F. The Department shall keep a current list of highway

remediation and cleanup service operators licensed pursuant to this

of Public Safety. The Department shall update such list regularly

to delete highway remediation and cleanup service operators whose

licenses have been suspended or revoked.

G. Fees or fines collected pursuant to the provisions of this

section shall be remitted to the State Treasurer to be deposited in
