Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35 § 807.600

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 49, December 6, 2024

Section 807.600 - Purpose, Scope and Applicability

a) This Subpart provides procedures by which an operator of a waste disposal site can give "financial assurance" satisfying the requirement of Section 21.1(a) of the Act that the operator post with the Agency a performance bond or other security for the purpose of insuring closure of the site and post-closure care in accordance with the Act and Board rules.

b) Each operator must file a closure plan as part of a permit application. The operator of a disposal site or indefinite storage unit must also file a post-closure care plan (Sections 807.205, 807.503 and 807.523) . The operator of a disposal site or indefinite storage unit must prepare a cost estimate of closure and post-closure care, and provide financial assurance in this amount (Sections 807.601 and 807.620) . Financial assurance shall be given through a combination of a trust agreement, bond guaranteeing payment, bond guaranteeing payment or performance, letter of credit, insurance or self-insurance (Section 807.640 ). The cost estimate and amount of financial assurance is to be updated at least on a biennial basis (Section 807.623 ).

c) This Subpart applies only to the non-governmental operators of disposal sites or indefinite storage units (Section 807.601). Whether a site is a disposal site or, alternatively, a treatment or storage site, depends on whether the closure plan provides for removal of all wastes and waste residues from the site prior to completion of closure. Whether a unit is an indefinite storage unit depends on the technical feasibility and economic reasonableness of removal of all wastes and waste residues prior to closure (Section 807.104 ).
