(13) Where an amount is recoverable from a person by the Minister or the EPA under subsection (12)— (a) the Minister or the EPA may, by notice in writing to the person, fix a period, being not less than 28 days from the date of the notice, within which the amount must be paid by the person, and, if the amount is not paid by the person within that period, the person is liable to pay interest charged at the prescribed rate per annum on the amount unpaid; and (b) the amount together with any interest charge so payable is until paid a charge in favour of the Minister or the EPA on any land owned by the person.
