(a) The board shall grant approval of a proposed contribution of property under the program only upon a determination that: (1) (A) The donation of property satisfies the requirements for a qualified contribution pursuant to Section 170 of Title 26 of the United States Code. If only a portion (either an undivided fractional interest in the entire property or one or more discrete parcels) of a proposed conveyance of property satisfies the requirements of Section 170 of Title 26 of the United States Code, or if the property is sold for less than fair market value, only that portion, or the amount representing the difference between the amount paid by the donee and the fair market value, shall be eligible for the tax credit, to the extent permitted by Section 170(h) of Title 26 of the United States Code. The board may segregate eligible and ineligible interests in property proposed to be contributed pursuant to this division. The donor shall receive no other valuable consideration for the donation of property subject to the tax credit. (B) For purposes of this division, if the property is proposed to be donated to satisfy a condition imposed upon the donor by any lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use issued by one or more public agencies, including, but not limited to, the mitigation of significant effects on the environment of a project pursuant to an approved environmental impact report or mitigated negative declaration required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000)), that property shall not qualify for the credit provided in Section 17053.30 or 23630 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (2) There has been no release or threatened release of a hazardous material on the property, unless all of the following occur: (A) A final remedy in response to the release has been approved by the Department of Toxic Substances Control pursuant to Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 25100) or Chapter 6.86 (commencing with Section 25396) of Division 20 of, or Part 2 (commencing with Section 78000) of Division 45 of, the Health and Safety Code, or the appropriate California regional water quality control board pursuant to Chapter 6.7 (commencing with Section 25280) of Division 20 of the Health and Safety Code. (B) The donor or donee have agreed to implement the final remedy approved pursuant to subparagraph (A). (C) The donor or donee have agreed to fund and have made adequate funding available to pay for the response action, as defined by Section 78140 of the Health and Safety Code. (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), a donation of property containing hazardous materials may be accepted under the program without satisfying the requirements of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) if the donee determines, based on written findings from the Department of Toxic Substances Control and the California regional water quality control board with jurisdiction over the property, that the hazardous materials present will pose no substantial risk to human health or the environment and no substantial risk of liability on the donee under the conditions under which the property will be used. The Department of Toxic Substances Control and the California regional water quality control board with jurisdiction over the property shall carry out their normal due diligence when developing the written findings that will be the basis for the written determination regarding the presence and risk of toxic materials on the property by the Department of Toxic Substances Control or the regional board, whichever is applicable. As used in this subdivision, “hazardous materials” has the same meaning as contained in subdivision (d) of Section 25260 of the Health and Safety Code.
