Section 18474 - Trust Fund
(a) An operator may establish a trust fund to meet the requirements of this Article. The trust agreement shall be submitted to the Board or its designee as an originally signed duplicate. The trustee shall be an entity which has the authority to act as a trustee, and whose trust operations are regulated and examined by a federal or state agency.
(b) The trust agreement shall be worded as specified by using form CalRecycle 140 "Trust Agreement" (03/17) which is incorporated herein by reference; and also shall contain the original signature of the grantor and the trustee. (See Appendix A.)
(c) The initial deposit to the trust fund shall be at least equal to the current closure cost estimate.
(d) If the value of the fund is at any time less than the amount of the current estimate, the operator shall either deposit an amount into the fund so that the value of the fund at least equals the amount of the current closure cost estimate, or obtain other financial assurance, as specified in this Article, to cover the difference.
(e) If at any time, the value of the trust fund plus the amount of coverage demonstrated by other mechanisms is greater than the closure cost estimate based on the maximum quantity of waste tires permitted for storage, the operator may request in writing that the Board or its designee authorize the release of the excess funds. After receiving such a request, the Board or its designee shall review the request and, if any excess funds are verified, shall instruct the trustee to release the funds.
(f) After the Board or its designee has approved final closure, an operator or any other person authorized by the Board to perform closure, may request reimbursement for closure expenditures by submitting to the Board for review, documentation of those expenditures, including but not limited to tire receipts. After receiving the documentation for closure activities, the Board or its designee shall determine whether the closure expenditures are in accordance with the closure plan or otherwise justified. After the Board or its designee has approved final closure, the Board or its designee shall instruct the trustee, in writing, to reimburse the fund to the grantor.
(g) The Board or its designee shall agree to termination of the trust when:
(1) An operator substitutes alternate financial assurance as specified in section 18479 of this Article; or
(2) The Board or its designee releases the operator from the requirements of this Article in accordance with section 18482.
