Unless otherwise provided by a contract or other written agreement, a person who generates drill cuttings and transfers the drill cuttings in an arm's length transaction to an unaffiliated third-party permit holder under a contract that requires that the drill cuttings be used in connection with road building or another beneficial use or disposed of is not liable in tort for a consequence of the subsequent use or disposal of the drill cuttings by the permit holder or by another person if:
(1) the person who generates the drill cuttings has the legal and contractual right to transfer the drill cuttings to the permit holder;
(2) the method and location of the use or disposal are not prohibited by law, contract, or other written agreement; and
(3) the consequence was caused solely by the permit holder.
