To the payment of this obligation the Principal and Surety jointly and severally bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
Whereas the Principal is required, under Section 21(d) of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/21(d)] , to have a permit to conduct a waste disposal operation;

Whereas the Principal and Surety agree that this bond shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois;
The Surety shall pay the penal sum to the IEPA or provide closure and post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure care plans for the site if, during the term of the bond, the Principal fails to provide closure or post-closure care for any site in accordance with the closure and post-closure care plans for that site as guaranteed by this bond. The Principal fails to so provide when the Principal:
The Surety shall pay the penal sum of the bond to the IEPA or notify the IEPA that it intends to provide closure and post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure care plans for the site within 30 days after the IEPA mails notice to the Surety that the Principal has met one or more of the conditions described above. Payment shall be made by check or draft payable to the State of Illinois, Landfill Closure and Post-Closure Fund.
If the Surety notifies the IEPA that it intends to provide closure and post-closure care, then the Surety must initiate closure and post-closure care within 60 days after the IEPA mailed notice to the Surety that the Principal met one or more of the conditions described above. The Surety must complete closure and post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure care plans, or pay the penal sum.
The liability of the Surety shall not be discharged by any payment or succession of payments unless and until such payment or payments shall amount in the aggregate to the penal sum of the bond. In no event shall the obligation of the Surety exceed the amount of the penal sum.
This bond shall expire on the _____ day of __________, ___________ [date]; but such expiration date shall be automatically extended for a period of _________ [at least one year] on _________ [date] and on each successive expiration date, unless, at least 120 days before the current expiration date, the Surety notifies both the IEPA and the Principal by certified mail that the Surety has decided not to extend the term of this surety bond beyond the current expiration date. The 120 days will begin on the date when both the Principal and the IEPA have received the notice, as evidenced by the return receipts.
The Principal may terminate this bond by sending written notice to the Surety; provided, however, that no such notice shall become effective until the Surety receives written authorization for termination of the bond from the IEPA in accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 807.604.
