From the taxes received pursuant to this Article, the Secretary may retain the costs of collection, not to exceed two hundred twenty‑five thousand dollars ($225,000) a year, as reimbursement to the Department. The Secretary must credit or distribute taxes received pursuant to this Article, less the cost of collection, on a quarterly basis as follows:
(1)	Fifty percent (50%) to the Inactive Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund established by G.S. 130A‑310.11.

For purposes of this distribution, the population of a county does not include the population of a city located in the county.
A city or county is excluded from the distribution under this subdivision if it does not provide solid waste management programs and services and is not responsible by contract for payment for these programs and services. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources must provide the Secretary with a list of the cities and counties that are excluded under this subdivision. The list must be provided by May 15 of each year and applies to distributions made in the fiscal year that begins on July 1 of that year.
Funds distributed under this subdivision must be used by a city or county solely for solid waste management programs and services.
