(a) At closure of a containment building, the owner or operator shall remove or decontaminate any waste residues, contaminated containment system components, liners, contaminated subsoils, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste and leachate, and manage them as hazardous waste unless Subsection R315-261-3(d) applies.

(b) If, after removing or decontaminating any residues and making reasonable efforts to effect removal or decontamination of contaminated components, subsoils, structures, and equipment as required in Subsection R315-265-1102(a), the owner or operator finds that contaminated subsoils cannot be practicably removed or decontaminated, the owner or operator shall close the facility and perform post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure requirements that apply to landfills, 40 CFR 265.310. In addition, for the purposes of closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility, such a containment building is then considered to be a landfill, and the owner or operator shall meet the requirements for landfills specified in Sections R315-265-110 through R315-265-120 and R315-265-140 through R315-265-148.
