The amount by which the cost of reclamation exceeds the amount of a member’s forfeited payments and, if any, the member’s bond or other security also forfeited, shall constitute a debt of the member to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Director is authorized to collect such debts together with the cost of collection, through appropriate legal action, or by declaring the forfeiture of other payments made by the member to the Fund. Moneys collected through legal action, less the costs of collection, shall be deposited in the Fund.
