SUPPRESSION AND DAMAGE COLLECTION. The Department and the Forest Service reserve the right to pursue independent and separate courses of litigation and cost collection for suppression and damage on the fires that affect both Parties. Any costs recovered as a result of independent litigation will not be subject to apportionment with the other affected Party. Whenever collections that result from joint legal action have the effect of reducing next expenditures of either Party to accomplish services provided for in this Agreement, then such collections may be reported and shared proportionately, after deducting the cost of collection.
