(b} A party prevailing in an actian commenced within. the i�rtie required under paragraph (a) shall be entitled to a declaratory j�dgment of liabi�ity for all future reasonable and necessary costs incurred by that party to respond to th� release or threatened release * * *. The availability of the tort-style damages a�aiIable under Section 1 i SB.OS depend upon the time of placement: Unc�er Minn. Sta.t. § 11 SB.06, "Section 115B.05 c�oes not apply to any claim for darnages arising out ofthe release of a hazardous substance which was placed or came to be located in or on the facility wholly be�ore July I, 1983." There are other provisaons limiting t�ie retr�activiCy of MERLA. For example, S'ection 115B,15 provides: Sectians 115B.01 to 115$.14 apply to any .release or threatened release o� a hazardous substance accurring on or after July 1, 1983, including any release which began before July 1, 1983; and continued after that date. Sections 115B.01 to 115B.14 cia not apply to a release or ti�u-eatened release which occurred wholly before July 1, I 9$3, regardless of the date of ciiscovery of any injury ar Ioss caused by �he release or threatened release: SimilarIy, Section 115B.04, subd. 6, states: Defense to certain claims by political subdivisions and private persons. It is a def�nse to a claim by a*** private person for recover of the costs of its respons� actions uncler this section that the hazard�us substance released. fro�n the facility was placed or came ta be Iocated in or an the facility before April l, 1982, and that the response actions ofthe poiitical subdivision or private person were nat autharized by the agency as providecE in sectron 11 SB.17; subdivision 12. This defense applies only to response costs incurred on or aft�r July 1, 1983. Minn. Stat. § 115B.17, subd. 12 st�tes that the MPCA may authorize a political subdivision to undertake a response action or a private party to undertak� a removal action with respect to a pre- April 1, 1982 hazardous substance release if the action qual'ifies for authori�ation under rules developed under Minn. Stat. § 11 SB.17, subd. 13. The MPCA's authorizaiion must be consistent with this a�thorization criteria e�stablis�ed under subdivision 13. Subd�vrsion 12 does� not prohibi� a political s�ubdivisian or a private person from undertal�ing a removal or rem�dial action without MPCA authorization. Presumably, hovvever, such action wauld be done without the ability to recover the costs from an RP. The MPCA, under Minn. Stat. § 115B.17, subd. 13, is required to ma.rntain rules "establishing state criteria for determining priorities among releases and threatened releases." In adc�ition t� promulgating the criteria for determining priorities; the MP`CA is also to inaintain a Permanent List of �'riarities (PLP} which reflects "priorities among releases or threatenec� releases far the purpose aftaking remedial action anc�;. to tY�e extent practicable consistent with the urgency ofthe action, far taking removal action" under Minn. Stat. § I 15B.17. The MPCA is to modify the PLP :'�
