means the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as
amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
1976,
as amended
(42 U.S.C.
Section 6901
et seq.)
“Active life” of a facility means the period from the
initial receipt of hazardous waste at the facility until
the Agency receives certification of final
closure.
“Active portion” means that portion of a facility where
treatment, storage or disposal operations are being
or
have been conducted after May 19,
1980 and which is not
a closed portion.
(See
also “closed portion” and
“inactive portion”.)
“Administrator”
means the Administrator of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency or
his designee.
“Agency” means
the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency.
“Aquifer”
means
a
geologic
formation,
group
of
formations or part of a formation capable of yielding
a
significant
amount
of
groundwater
to
wells
or
springs.
“Authorized
representative”
means
the
person
responsible
for
the
overall
operation
of
a
facility
or
an
operational unit
(i.e., part of a facility), e.g.,
the
plant manager, superintendent or person of equivalent
responsibility.
“Board”
means
the
Illinois
Pollution
Control
Board.
“Boiler” means
an enclosed device using controlled flame
combustion and having
the following characteristics:
The unit must have physical provisions
for
73-154

ILLINOIS REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
TEXT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
recovering
and exporting thermal energy in the form
of steam, heated fluids or heated gases;
and the
unit’s combustion chamber
and primary energy
recovery section(s) must be of integral design.
To
be of integral design, the combustion chamber and
the primary energy recovery section(s)
(such as
waterwalls and superheaters) must be physically
formed into one manufactured or assembled unit.
A
unit
in which the combustion chamber
and the
primary energy recovery section(s)
are joined only
by ducts or connections carrying flue gas
is not
integrally designed; however,
secondary energy
recovery equipment
(such as economizers or air
preheaters)
need not be physically formed
into the
same unit as the combustion chamber
and the primary
energy recovery section.
The following units are
not precluded
from being
boilers solely because
they are not of
integral design:
process heaters
(units that transfer energy directly to
a process
stream),
and fluidized bed combustion units;
and
While
in operation, the unit must maintain
a
thermal energy recovery efficiency of at least 60
percent, calculated
in terms of the recovered
energy compared with the thermal value of the fuel;
and
The unit must export and utilize
at least 75
percent of the recovered energy, calculated on an
annual basis.
In this calculation,
no credit shall
be given
for recovered heat used internally
in the
same unit.
(Examples of internal
use are the
preheating of
fuel or combustion air,
and the
driving
of induced
or forced draft
fans or
feedwater pumps); or
The unit is one which the Board has determined, on
a case—by—case basis, to be
a boiler, after
considering
the standards in Section 720.132.
“Certification” means
a
statement of professional
opinion based upon knowledge and belief.
“Closed Portion” means that portion of
a facility which
an owner
or operator has closed
in accordance with the
approved facility closure plan and all applicable
closure requirements.
(See also “active portion”
and
“inactive portion”.)

~j
The estimate must equal
the cost of final closure
at the point in the facility’s eperat4n~activelift
when the extent and manner of its operation would
make closure the most expensive,
as indicated by
its closure plan
(see Section 724.2l2+a++7(b));
and
2)
The closure cost estimate must be based on the
costs
to
the owner
or operator of hiring
a third

the facility.
A third party is a
party who
is neither
a parent nor
a subsidiary of
the owner

disposal capacity will exist
at all times over the
life of the facility.
3)
The closure cost estimate must not incorporate any
salvage value
that may be realized with the sale of
hazardous wastes,
facility structures or equipment,
land or other assets associated with the facility
at the time of partial

The Agency releases the owner
or operator
from
the requirements of this sSection
in
accordance with paragraph subsection

e)
Closure insurance.
1)
An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements
of this eSection by obtaining closure insurance
which conforms
to the requirements of this
paragraph and submitting
a certificate of such
insurance
to
the Agency.
An owner or operator of
a
new facility mustshall submit
the certificate of
insurance
to the Agency at least 60 days before
the
date on which hazardous waste
is first received
for
treatment, storage or disposal.
The insurance must
be effective before this initial receipt of
hazardous waste.
At
a minimum,
the insurer must be
licensed
to transact the business of insurance,
or
eligible
to
provide
insurance
as
an
excess
or
surplus lines insurer, in one or more States.
2)
The wording of the certificate of insurance must be
identical
to
the wording specified
in 40 CFR
264.151(e)
(incorporated by reference
in Section
724.251).
3)
The closure insurance policy must be issued
for
a
face amount at least equal
to the current closure
cost estimate, except as provided
in paragraph
subsection
(g). The term “face amount” means the
total amount the insurer
is obligated to pay under
the policy.
Actual payments by the insurer will
not change the face amount, although the insurer’s
future liability will be lowered by the amount of
the payments.
4)
The closure insurance policy must guarantee that
funds will be available
to close the facility
whenever
final closure occurs.
The policy must
also guarantee that, once final closure begins,
the
insurer will be responsible for paying out funds,
up
to an amount equal
to the face amount of the
policy,
upon the direction of the Agency to such
party or parties as the Agency specifies.
5)
After beginning partial
or
final closure, an owner
or operator
or
any other person authorized
to
73-218

perforaconduct closure may request reimbursement
for closure expenditures by submitting itemized
bills to the Agency.
The owner
or operator may
request reimbursements for partial closure only if
the remaining value of the policy is sufficient to
cover_the_maximum costs of closing the facility
over
its remainin~operatin9 life. Within 60 days
after receiving bills for closure activities,
the
Agency shallwtll determ4ne whether the closure
ewpend4tures are tn accordance wtth the closure
plan or etherw4ee ~uet4f4edy and 4f
SOy
wHl
instruct the insurer
to make reimbursement
in such
amounts as the Agency specifies in writing7if the
P~gencydetermines that the partial
or
final closure
expenditures are
in accordance with the approved
closure plan or otherwise justified.
If
the Agency
hes reason to belteve determines that the maximum
cost of closure over the remaining life of the
facility will be significantly greater than the
face amount of the policy,
it mayshall withhold
reimbursement of such amounts as it deems prudent
until
it determines,
in accordance with paragraph
subsection
(i), that the owner or operator
is
no
longer required to maintain financial •assurance
for
final closure of the facility.
If the Ageny does
not instruct the insurer
to make such
reimbursements,
the Agency shall provide the owner
or operator with
a detailed written statement of
reasons.
6)
The owner
or operator mustshall maintain the policy
in full
force and effect uii?il
the Agency consents
to termination of the policy by the owner
or
operator as specified
in paragraph subsection
(e)(lO).
Failure
to pay the premium, without
substitution of alternate financial assurance as
specified
in this eSection, will constitute
a
significant violation of these regulations,
warranting such remedy as the Board may impose
pursuant
to the Environmental Protection Act.
Such
violation will be deemed
to begin upon receipt by
the Agency of a notice of future cancellation,
termination or
failure
to renew due
to nonpayment
of the premium,
rather than upon the date of
expiration.
7)
Each policy must contain
a provision allowing
assignment of the policy
to
a successor owner or
operator.
Such assignment may be conditional upon
73-219

ILLINOIS REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
TEXT

consent of the insurer, provided such consent
is
not unreasonably refused.
8)
The policy must provide that the insurer may not
cancel, terminate or fail
to renew the policy
except
for failure
to pay the premium.
The
automatic renewal of the policy must,
at a minimum,
provide the
insured with the option of renewal at
the face amount of the expiring policy.
If there
is
a failure
to pay the premium, the insurer may
elect
to cancel,
terminate or
fail to renew the
policy by sending notice by certified mail
to
the
owner or operator and the Agency.
Cancellation,
termination or
failure
to renew may not occur,
however, during the 120 days beginning with the
date of receipt of
the notice by both the Agency
and the owner or operator, as evidenced by the
return receipts.
Cancellation, termination or
failure
to renew may not occur
and the policy will
remain
in full force and effect
in the event that
on or before the date of expiration:
A)
The Agency deems
the facility abandoned;
or
B)
The permit
is terminated or revoked or
a new
permit
is denied;
or
C)
Closure
is ordered by the Board or
a U.S.
district court or other court of competent
jurisdiction;
or
D)
The owner
or operator
is named
as debtor
in
a
voluntary or involuntary proceeding under
11
U.S.C.
(Bankruptcy);
or
E)
The premium due

9)
Whenever the current closure cost estimate
increases
to an amount greater than the face amount
of the policy,
the owner
or operator, within 60
days after
the
increase, mustshall either cause the
face amount
to be increased to an amount at least
equal
to the current closure cost estimate and
submit evidence of such increase
to the Agency, or
obtain other
financial assurance as specified
in

to cover
the increase.
Whenever
the
current closure cost estimate decreases, the face
amount may be reduced
to the amount of the current
closure cost estimate following written approval by

an inflation factor derived from the
annual
Implicit Price Deflator for Gross National
Product as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce
in its Survey of Current Businessas specified
in
subsections
(b)(l)
and (b)(2).
The inflation factor
is
the result of dividing the latest published annual
Deflator by the Deflator
for
the previous year.
1)
The first adjustment is made by multiplying the
post—closure cost estimate by the inflation factor.
The result
is the adjusted post—closure cost
estimate.
2)
Subsequent adjustments are made by multiplying
the
latest adjusted post—closure cost estimate by the
latest inflation factor.

in Sections 724.217 through 724.220,
724.328,
724.358, 724.380 and 724.410.
1)
The post—closure cost estimate must be based
on the
costs
to
the owner
or operator of hiring
a third
party
to conduct post—closure care activities.
A
third party is
a party who
is neither
a parent nor
a subsidiary of the owner or operator.
(See
definition of parent corporation
in Section
724. 241(d))
2)
The post—closure cost estimate
is calculated by
multiplying the annual post—closure cost estimate
by the number of years of post—closure care
required under Subpart GTSection 724.217.
b)
During the operat4ngactive life of the facility, the
owner

an inflation factor derived from the
annual Implicit Price Deflator
for Gross National
Product as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce
in its Survey of Current Businessas specified
in
subsections
(b)(l)
and (b)(2).
The inflation factor
is
the result of dividing the latest published annual
Deflator by the Deflator for the previous year.
1)
The first adjustment is made by multiplying the
post—closure cost estimate by the inflation factor.
The result is the adjusted post—closure cost
estimate.
2)
Subsequent adjustments are made by multiplying
the
latest adjusted post—closure cost estimate by the
latest inflation factor.

The wording of the corporate
guarantee must be 4dent4eal to the werd4ng
epee4?4ed
in
49
CFR
~64~&~Ih-~as specified
in
Section 724.251.
The corporate guarantee must
accompany the items sent
to the Agency as specified
in paragraph subsection
(f)(3).
The terms of the
corporate guarantee must provide that:
A)
If
the owner
or operator fails to perform
post—closure care of a facility covered by the
corporate guarantee in accordance with the
post—closure plan and other permit
requirements whenever required
to do so,
the
guarantor will do
so or establish a trust fund
as specified
in paragraph subsection
(a)
in
the name of the owner or operator.
B)
The corporate guarantee will
remain
in force
unless the guarantor sends notice of
cancellation by certified mail
to the owner or
operator and
to the Agency.
Cancellation may

ILLINOIS REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
TEXT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
not occur, however, during the 120 days
beginning on the date of receipt of the notice
of cancellation by both the owner
or operator
and the Agency, as evidenced by the return
receipts.
C)
If the owner or operator fails to provide
alternate financial assurance as specified in
this eSection and obtain
the written approval
of such alternate assurance from the Agency
within 90 days after
receipt by both the owner
or operator and the Agency of
a notice of
cancellation of the corporate guarantee from
the guarantor,
the guarantor will provide such
alternate financial assurance
in the name of
the owner
or operator.
g)
Use of multiple financial mechanisms.
An owner
or
operator may satisfy the requirements of this sSection
by establishing more than one financial mechanism per
facility.
These mechanisms are limited
to trust funds,
surety bonds guaranteeing payment into
a
trust fund,
letters of credit and
insurance.
The mechanisms must be
as specified
in paragraph subsections (a),
(b),
(d)
and
(e), respectively,
except that
it is the combination of
mechanisms, rather
than the single mechanism, which must
provide
financial assurance
for
an amount at least equal
to
the current post—closure cost estimate.
If an owner
or operator uses a trust fund
in combination with a
surety bond
or
a letter of credit,
it may use the trust
fund as the standby trust fund
for
the other
mechanisms.
A single standby trust
fund may be
established
for
two or more mechanisms.
The Agency may
use any or
all of the mechanisms to provide for post—
closure care of the facility.
h)
Use of a financial mechanism for multiple facilities. An
owner
or operator may use a financial assurance
mechanism specified
in this oSection to meet the
requirements of this sSection for more than one
facility.
Evidence
of
financial
assurance
submitted
to
the Agency must include a list showing, for each
facility, the EPA Identification Number, name, address
and the amount of funds
for post—closure care assured by
the mechanism.
The amount of funds available through
the mechanism must be no less than the sum
of funds that
would be available if a separate mechanism had been
established and maintained
for each facility.
The
amount of funds available
to the Agency must be
73-248

ILLINOIS REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
TEXT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
sufficient
to
close
all
of
the
owner
or
operator’s
facilities.
In directing funds available through the
mechanism for post—closure care of any of the facilities
covered by the mechanism, the Agency may direct only the
amount of funds designated
for that facility, unless the
owner or operator agrees to the use of additional funds
available under
the mechanism.
1)
Release of the owner or operator from the requirements
of this eSection.
When an owner or operator has
to the eat4s~ae44enof the Agency7 all poet-

receiving certifications
from

of required liability
coverage.
If an owner or operator can demonstrates to
the eats?actien o~the Agency that the levels of
financial responsibility required by paragraph
subsections
(a) or
(b)
are not consistent with the
degree and duration of risk associated with treatment,

or operator may obtain an adjusted
level of required liability coverage
from the Agency.
The request for
an adjusted level
of required liability
coverage must be submitted
to the Agency as part of the
application under
35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.182 for
a
facility that does not have a permit,
or pursuant to the
procedures
for permit modification under
35 Ill. Adm.
Code
705.128
for
a
facility
that
has
a
permit.
If
granted,
the
modification
will
take
the
form
of
an
adjusted level
of required liability coverage, such
level
to be based
on the Agency assessment of the degree
and duration of risk associated with the ownership or
operation of the facility or group of facilities.
The
Agency may require
an owner or operator who requests an
adjusted level
of required liability coverage to provide
such technical and engineering
information as is deeaed
necessary by the Agency to determine a level
of
financial responsibility other
than that required by
paragraph subsection
(a)
or
(b).
Any request
for
an
adjusted level of required liability coverage
for
a
permitted facility will
be treated

702.184(e) (3) and 705.128.
d)
Adjustments by the Agency.
If the Agency determines
that the levels of financial responsibility required by

the level
of
financial responsibility required under paragraph
subsection
(a)

the
post-
closure period may be modified during the post—closure
care period or atat any time prior
to the end

in either of the following two
ways:
1)
The owner
or operator or any member of the public
may petition the BirectorAgency to extend
or reduce
the post—closure care period applicable
to
a
hazardous waste management unit or facility based
on cause, or
alter the requirements of the post—
closure
care
period
based
on
cause.
A)
The
petition
must
include
evidence
demonstrating that:
i)
The
secure nature of the hazardous waste
management unit or facility makes the
post—closure care requirement(s)
unnecessary or supports reduction of the
post—closure care period
specified
in the
current
post—closure
plan
(e.g.,
leachate
or groundwater monitoring results,
characteristics of the waste, application
of advanced technology or alternative
disposal, treatment or re—use techniques
indicate that the facility is secure),
or
ii)
The
requested
extension
in
the
post—
closure care period
or alteration of
post—closure care requirements is
necessary to prevent threats
to human
health and the environment.
(e.g.,
leachate or groundwater monitoring
results indicate a potential for
migration of hazardous wastes at levels
which may be harmful
to human health and
the environment).

the facility
in accordance with the
closure plan as specified in Section ~~‘~1~the
requirements
in Sections 725.211 through 725.215
and
applicable closure requirements of Sections 725.297,

725.358,
725.380, 725.410,
725.451,
725.481 and
725. 504.
1)
The closure cost estimate must equal
the cost of
final
closure
at the point
in the facility’s
eperatingactive
life when the extent and manner of
its operation would make closure the most
expensive,
as indicated by its closure plan
see
Section
725.212(b);
and
2)
The
closure
cost
estimate
must
be
based
on
the
costs to
the owner or operator of hiring
a third
party to close
the
facility.
A third party is
a
party who
is neither
a parent nor
a subsidiary of
the owner
or operator.
(See definition of ~parent

operator may use costs
for on—site disposal
if the
owner or operator can demonstrate that on—site
disposal capacity will exist at all times over
the
life of the facility.
3)
The
closure
cost
estimate
must
not
incorporate
any
salvage value that may be realized by the
sale of
hazardous wastes, facility structures or equipment,
land or other
facility assets at the
time of
partial or final
closure.
4)
The owner
or operator shall
not incorporate
a zero
cost
for
hazardous
waste
which
may
have
economic
value.

alternate
73-298

ILLINOIS
REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

financial assurance as specified
in this
Section;
or
B)
The Agency releases the owner
or operator from
the requirements of this Section
in accordance
with subsection
Lh).
d)
Closure
insurance.
3.)
An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements
of
this
Section
by
obtaining
closure
insurance
which conforms to
the requirements of this
paragraph and
submitting
a certificate of such
insurance to the Agency.
At a minimum, the
insurer
must be licensed
to transact the business of
insurance,
or eligible to provide
insurance as an
excess
or surplus lines insurer,
in one or more
States.
2)
The
wording
of
the
certificate
of
insurance
must
be
as specified
in 35 Ill.
Adxn. Code 724.251.
3)
The
closure
insurance
policy
must
be
issued
for
a
face amount at least
equal
to the current closure
cost estimate, except
as provided
in subsection
(f).
The
term “face amount” means the total amount
the
insurer
is obligated
to pay under
the policy.
Actual payments by the insurer will not change the
face amount, although the insurer’s future
liability will
be lowered
by the amount of the
payments.
4)
The
closure
insurance
policy
must
guarantee
that
funds_will_be_available
to close
the facility
whenever final closure occurs.
The policy must
also guarantee
that, once final closure begins, the
insurer
will
be responsible for paying out
funds,
up to
an amount equal
to the face amount of the
policy, upon the direction of the Agency to such
party or parties as the Agency specifies.
5)
After beginning partial
or
final closure,
an
owner
or operator or any other person authorized
to
conduct closure may request reimbursement for
closure expenditures by submitting itemized bills
to
the Agency.
The owner
or operator may reguest
reimbursement for partial
closure only if the
remaining value
of the policy is sufficient to
cover
the maximum costs of closing the facility
73.299

ILLINOIS REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
TEXT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
over
its remaining operating life. Within 60
days
after
receiving bills
for closure activities, the
Agency shall
instruct the insurer
to make
reimbursement
in
such
amounts
as
the
Agency
specifies in writing
if the Agency determines that
the partial
or final closure expenditures are
in
accordance with the approved
closure plan or
otherwise justified.
If the Agency determines that
the maximum cost of closure over
the remaining life
of the facility will be significantly greater
than
the face amount of the policy,
it shall withhold
reimbursement of such amounts as
it deems prudent
until
it determines,
in accordance with subsection
(h), that the owner
or operator
is no longer
required
to maintain financial assurance for final
closure of the particular
facility.
If the Agency
does
not
instruct
the
insurer
to
make
such
reimbursements,
the Agency shall provide the owner
or operator with
a detailed written statement of
reasons.
6)
The owner
or operator shall maintain the policy in
full
force
and effect
until
the Agency consents
to
termination of the policy by the owner
or operator
as
specified
in subsection
(d)(lO).
Failur~ to pay
the premium, without substitution of alternate
financial assurance
as specified
in
this Section,
will constitute
a significant violation of these
regulations, warranting such remedy as the Board
may impose pursuant
to the Environmental Protection
Act.
Such violation will
be deemed
to begin upon
receipt by the Agency of a notice of future
cancellation, termination
or
failure
to
renew
due
to nonpayment of the premium, rather
than upon the
date of expiration.
7)
Each policy must contain
a provision allowing
assignment of the policy to
a successor owner
or
operator.
Such assignment may be conditional
upon
consent of the
insurer, provided
such consent is
not unreasonably refused.
8)
The
policy
must
provide
that
the
insurer
may
not
cancel,
terminate
or
fail
to
renew
the
policy
except
for failure
to pay the premium.
The
automatic renewal
of the policy must,
at
a minimum,
provide the insured
with the option of renewal
at
the
face amount of the expiring policy.
If there
is
a failure
to pay the premium, the
insurer may
73-300

ILLINOIS
REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
TEXT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
elect
to cancel, terminate or fail to renew the
policy
by
sending
notice
by
certified
mail
to
the
owner
or operator and the Agency.
Cancellation,
termination or failure
to renew may not occur,
however, durin2
the
120 days beginning with the
date of receipt of the notice by both the Agency
and the owner
or operator, as evidenced by the
return receipts.
Cancellation, termination or
failure to renew may not occur and the policy will
remain
in full force and effect in
the event that
on or before the date of expiration:
A)
The Agency deems
the facility abandoned;
or
B)
Interim status
is terminated
or revoked;
or
C)
Closure
is ordered by the Board
or
a U.S.
district court or other court of competent
j~irisdiction;or
D)
The owner
or operator
is named
as debtor
in
a
voluntary or involuntary proceeding
under
11
U.S.C.
(Bankruptcy);
or
E)
The premium due
is paid.
9)
Whenever the current closure cost estimate
increases to
an amount greater
than the
face amount
of the policy,
the owner
or operator, within 60
days after
the
increase,
shall
either cause
the
face amount
to be increased
to
an amount at least
equal
to
the current closure cost estimate and
submit evidence of such increase
to
the Agency,
or
obtain other
financial assurance as specified
in
this Section
to cover
the
increase.
Whenever
the
current closure cost estimate decreases,
the
face
amount may be reduced
to the amount of the current
closure cost estimate following written approval by
the Agency.
10)
The Agency shall give written consent
to
the owner
or operator that the owner
or operator may
terminate the insurance policy
when:
A)
An owner
or operator substitutes alternate
financial assurance
as specified
in
this
Section;
or
B)
The Agency releases the owner or operator from

Section
and
obtain
the
written
approval
of such alternate assurance from the Agency
within 90 days after receipt by both the owner
or
operator
and
the
Agency
of
a
notice
of
cancellation of the corporate ~uarantee from
the guarantor, the guarantor will provide such
alternate financial assurance
in the name of
the owner or operator.
f)
Use
of
multiple
financial
mechanisms.
An
owner
or
operator
may
satisfy
the
requirements
of
this
Section
by
establishing more than one financial mechanism per
facility.
These
mechanisms
are
limited
to
trust
funds,
surety bonds, letters of credit and
insurance.
The
mechanisms must be as specified
in subsections
(a)
through (d), respectively, except that it is the
combination
of
mechanisms,
rather
than
the
single
mechanism, which must provide financial assurance
for
an
amount at least equal
to the current closure cost
estimate.
If an owner or operator uses a trust
fund
in
combination with
a surety bond
or
a letter of credit,
the owner
or operator may use the
trust fund
as the
standby trust
fund for
the other mechanisms.
A single
standby trust
fund may be established for two or more
mechanisms.
The Agency may use any or all of the
mechanisms to provide for closure of the facility.
~j
Use of
a financial mechanism for multiple facilities. An
owner
or operator may use
a financial assurance
mechanism specified
in this Section to meet the
requirements of this Section for more than one facility.
Evidence of financial assurance submitted
to the Agency
must include
a list showing, for each facility, the EPA
Identification Number, name, address and
the amount of
funds
for closure assured by the mechanism.
The amount
of funds available through the mechanism must be
no less
than
the
sum of
funds that would
be
available
if
a
separate mechanism had been established and maintained
for each facility.
The amount of funds available to the
Agency must be sufficient
to close
all
of the owner
or
operator’s facilities.
In directing funds available
through the mechanism for closure of any of the
facilities covered by the mechanism,
the Agency may~
direct only the amount of funds designated
for
that
73-306

ILLINOIS REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
TEXT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
facility, unless the owner
or operator agrees to the use
of additional
funds available under
the mechanism.
h)
Release of the owner
or operator from the requirements
of this Section.
Within 60 days after
receiving
certifications from the owner
or operator and
an
independent reQistered professional engineer
that final
closure has been completed
in accordance with the
approved closure plan,
the Agency shall notify the owner
or operator
in writing
that the owner
or operator
is no
longer
required by this Section to maintain financial
assurance
for closure of the facility, unless the Agency
determines that closure has not been in accordance with
the
approved closure plan.
The Agency shall provide the
owner or operator
a detailed written statement of any
such determination that closure has not been
in
accordance with the approved
closure plan.

Section 725.244
Cost Estimate for Post—closure Care
a)
The owner
or operator of a disposal facility must
prepare ehazardous waste disposal
unit shall have
a
detailed written estimate,
in current dollars, of the
annual cost
of post—closure monitoring and maintenance
of the facility in accordance with the applicable post—
closure regulations
in Section 725.217 through 725.220~
725.328,
725.358,
725.380
and
725.410.
1)
The
post—closure
cost
estimate
must
be
based
on
the
costs
to
the owner
or operator of hiring
a third
party to conduct post—closure care activities.
A
third party
is
a party who
is neither
a parent nor
a subsidiary of the owner
or operator.
(See

POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
TEXT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
definition
of
“parent
corporation”
in
Section
725.241(d).)
2)
The post—closure cost estimate
is calculated by
multiplying the annual post—closure cost estimate
by the number of years of post—closure care
required under Subpart 6 of Part ~~Section
725.217.
b)
During the operat4n~activelife of the
facility, the
owner
or operator ~tietshalladjust the post—closure cost
estimate
for inflation within 30 days after each
anniversary of the date on which the first post—closure
cost estimate was prepared.
The adjustment must be made
as specified in para~rephs~fb-H~ and -~b-~4~~
of this
Seetion76O days prior to the anniversary date of the
establishment of the financial instruments
used to
comply with Section 725.245.
For owners and operators
using
the financial
test or corporate guarantee, the
closure cost estimate must be updated for inflation
within 30 days after
the close of the firm’s fiscal year
and before submission of updated information to the
Agency as specified
in Section 725.245(e)(5).
The
adjustment may be made by recalculating the post—closure
cost estimate
in current dollars, or by using
an
inflation factor derived from the annual Implicit Price
Deflator for Gross National Product as published
by the
U.S. Department of Commerce
in its Survey of Current
Business as specified
in subsections (b)(l)
and
(b)(2).
The inflation factor
is the result of dividing
the latest published annual Deflator by the Deflator
for
the previous year.
1)
The first adjustment
is made by multiplying
the
post—closure estimate by the inflation factor.
The
result is the adjusted post—closure cost estimate.
2)
Subsequent adjustments are made by multiplying the
latest
adjusted
post—closure
cost
estimate
by
the
latest inflation factor.
c)
The owner or operator a~stDuringthe active life of the
facility,

beginning
May
19,
1981,
or
over
the
remaining
operating life of the facility as estimated

closure plan, whichever period
is shorter; this
period
is hereafter referred to as the “pay—in

The
owner
or
operator
may
accelerate
payments
into
the
trust fund or may deposit the full amount of
the current post—closure cost estimate at the
time
the fund
is established.
However,
the owner
or
operator shall maintain the value of the fund at no
less than
the value that the fund would have if
annual payments were made as specified
in
subsection
(a) (3).
5)
If the owner or operator establishes
a post—closure
trust fund after
having used one or more alternate
mechanisms specified
in this Section, the owner or
operator’s first payment must be
in at least the
amount that the fund would contain
if the trust
fund
were
established
initially
and
annual
payments
made as specified
in subsection (a)(3).

fund
is
less
than
the
amount of the new estimate,
the owner
or operator,
within 60 days after
the change
in the cost
estimate, shall either deposit an amount into the
fund so
that its value
after this deposit at least
equals the amount of the current post—closure cost
estimate, or obtain other
financial assurance
as
specified
in this Section
to cover
the difference.
7)
During
the
operating
life
of
the
facility,
if
the
value of the trust fund
is greater
than
the
total
amount of the current post—closure cost estimate,
the owner or operator may submit a written request
to
the Agency for release of the amount
in excess
of the current post—closure cost estimate.
8)
If an owner or operator substitutes other
financial
assurance
as specified
in this Section for all
or
part of the trust
fund, owner
or operator may
submit a written request
to
the Agency for release
of the amount
in excess of the current post—closure
cost estimate covered by the trust
fund.
9)
Within 60 days
after receiving
a request from
the
owner or operator for release of funds as specified
in subsections (a)(7)
or
(a)(8),
the Agency shall
instruct the trustee
to release
to the owner
or
operator such funds as the Agency specifies in
wr itin~

days after receiving bills
for post—closure
activities, the Agency shall
instruct the insurer
to make reimbursement in such amounts as the Agency
specifies
in writing,
if the Agency determines that
the post—closure care expenditures are
in
accordance with the approved post—closure plan or
otherwise justified.
If the Agency does not
instruct the insurer
to make such reimbursements,
the Agency shall provide the owner or operator with
a detailed written statement of reasons.
6)
The owner or operator shall maintain the policy in
full force
and effect until
the Agency consents to
termination of the policy by the owner
or operator
as specified
in subsection
(d)(ll).
Failure
to pay
the premium, without substitution of alternate
financial
assurance
as
specified
in
this
Section3
will
constitute
a
si~nificant
violation
of
these
regulations,
warranting
such
remedy as the Board
may impose pursuant to
the Environmental Protection
Act.
Such violation will
be deemed
to begin upon
receipt by the Agency of
a notice of future
cancellation, termination or failure to
rerew due
to
nonpayment
of
the
premium,
rather
than
upon
the
date of expiration.
7)
Each
policy
must
contain
a
provision
allowing
assignment of the policy to
a successor owner
or
operator.
Such assignment may be conditional upon
consent of the
insurer, provided such consent
is
not
unreasonably
refused.
8)
The policy must provide that the
insurer may not
cancel, terminate or
fail to renew the policy
except
for failure to pay the premium.
The
automatic renewal
of the policy must, at a minimum,
provide
the insured with the option of renewal at
the
face amount of the expiring policy.
If there
fs
a
failure
to pay the premium,
the insurer may
elect to cancel, terminate or fail to renew
the
policy by sending notice by certified mail to the
owner or operator and the Agency.
Cancellation,
termination or failure
to renew may not occur,
however, during the 120 days beginning with the
date of receipt of the notice by both the Agency
and
the
owner or operator, as evidenced by the
return receipts.
Cancellation, termination or
failure
to renew may not occur,
and
the policy will

remain
in full
force and effect in the event that
on or before the date of expiration:
A)
The Agency deems the facility abandoned;
or
B)
Interim status is terminated or revoked;
or
C)
Closure
is ordered by the Board
or
a U.S.
district court or other court of competent

in
a
voluntary or
involuntary proceeding
under

or
E)
The
premium
due
is

9)
Whenever the current post—closure cost estimate
increases to
an amount greater
than
the face amount
of the policy during
the operating life of the
facility,
the owner
or operator, within 60 days
after
the
increase, shall either cause
the
face
amount
to be increased to an
amount at least
equal
to the current post—closure cost estimate and
submit evidence of such increase
to the Agency,
or
obtain other
financial assurance as specified
in
this Section
to cover
the
increase.
Whenever
the
current post—closure cost estimate decreases during
the operating life of the facility, the face amount
may be reduced
to the amount of the current post—
closure cost estimate following written approval by
the Agency.
10)
Commencing
on
the
date
that
liability

make
~ayments pursuant
to the policy accrues, the
insurer
shall
thereafter annually increase
the face
amount of the policy.
Such increase must be
equivalent
to the face amount of the policy,
less
any payments made1 multiplied by an
amount
equivalent
to 85 percent of the most recent
investment rate or of the equivalent coupon—issue
yield announced by the U.S. Treasury for 26—week
Treasury securities.
11)
The Agency shall give written consent
to the owner

in such
financial statements;
and
ii)
In connection with that procedure, no
matters
came
to

require reports
of financial condition
at any time from the owner
or operator
in addition
to those specified
in
subsection (e)(3).

operator shall provide alternate financial
assurance
as
specified

in the current post—
closure cost estimate for which this test
demonstrates financial assurance if the owner

demonstrates
to
the
Agency
that
the
amount
of the cost estimate exceeds the remaining
cost of
post—closure care.
10)
The
owner
or
operator
is
no
longer
required
to
submit the items specified
in subsection
(e)(3)
when:

substitutes
alternate
financial assurance as specified in this

a facility covered by the
corporate guarantee
in accordance with the
73-323

ILLINOIS REGISTER
POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
TEXT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
post—closure plan and other
interim status
requirements whenever required
to do so, the
guarantor will do so or establish
a trust
fund
as specified
in subsection
(a)
in the name of
the owner
or operator.
B)
The
corporate
guarantee
will
remain
in
force
unless the guarantor sends notice of
cancellation by certified mail to the owner or
operator and
to the Agency.
Cancellation may
not occur, however, during
the 120 days
beginning on
the date of receipt of the notice
of cancellation
by
both
the
owner
or
operator
and
the Agency, as evidenced by the return
receipts.
C)

the guarantor, the guarantor will provide such
alternate financial assurance
in the name of
the
owner
or
operator.
f)
Use
of
multiple
financial
mechanisms.
An
owner
or
operator may satisfy the requirements of this Section by
establishing
more
than
one
financial
mechanism
per
facility.
These mechanisms are limited to trust
funds,
surety bonds, letters of credit and insurance.
The
mechanisms must be
as specified
in subsections
(a)
through
(d), respectively, except that it
is the
combination of mechanisms, rather
than the single
mechanism, which must provide financial assurance for
an
amount at least
equal
to the current post—closure cost
estimate.
If an owner or operator uses a trust
fund in
combination with a surety bond
or
a letter of credit,
it
may use the trust
fund as the standby trust fund for the
other mechanisms.
A single standby trust
fund may be
established
for two or more mechanisms.
The Agency may
use any or all of the mechanisms to provide for post—
closure care of the facility.
Use of a
financial mechanism or multiple facilities. An
owner or operator may use
a financial assurance
mechanism specified
in this Section to meet the
requirements of this Section for more than one facility.

Identification Number, name, address and the amount of
funds
for post—closure care assured
by
the
mechanism.
The amount of funds available through the mechanism must
be no less than the sum of funds that would
be available
if a separate mechanism had been established and
maintained
for
each
facility.
The
amount
of
funds
available to the Agency must be sufficient to provide
post—closure care for all
of the owner or operator’s
facilities.
In directing funds available through the
mechanism for post—closure care of any of the facilities
covered by the mechanism, the Agency may direct only the
amount of funds designated for
that facility, unless the
owner or operator agrees to the use of additional
funds
available under
the mechanism.
i)
Release
of
the owner
or operator
from the requirements
of
this
Section.
Within
60 days after receiving
certifications
from
the
owner
or operator and
an
independent registered professional engineer
that the
post—closure
care
period
has
been
completed
in
accordance with the approved post—closure plan, the
Agency shall notify the owner
or operator
in writing
that the owner

financial assurance for post—closure
care of
that
unit, unless the Agency determines that

A
letter signed by the owner’s or operator’s
chief financial officer

724.243(f),
724.245(f),
725.243(e)
and
725.245(e), and liability coverage, it shall

letter from the chief financial
officer specifies as having
been derived
from the independently audited, year—end
financial statements
for the latest
fiscal year with the amounts in such
financial statements; and
ii)
In connection with that procedure, no
i~iatters came

adjusted.
5)
After
the
initial submission of items specified

operator shall
obtain insurance for the entire
amount of required liability coverage as specified
in this Section.
Evidence of insurance must be
submitted to the Agency within 90
days after
the
end of the
fiscal year for which the year—end
financial data show that the owner
or operator
no
longer meets
the test requirements.
7)
The Agency may disallow use of this test on the
basis of qualifications in the opinion expressed by
the
independent certified public accountant
in the
accountant’s report on examination of the owner’s
or operator’s financial statements
(see subsection

evaluate
other
qualifications
on
an
individual
basis.
The owner
or operator
shall
provide evidence of insurance for the entire amount
of required liability coverage as specified
in this
Section within 30
days
after
notification
of
disallowance.
