This cost estimate must be submitted by the owner or operator along with the annual notice of activity required under Section 55(d) of the Act.

b)         In addition, the owner or operator must revise the removal cost estimate and submit the revised estimate for Agency approval before making or having made at the site any change that would increase the removal cost estimate, including, but not limited to, an increase in the maximum accumulation of used or waste tires that will be accumulated at the site at any one time.

c)         The owner or operator must base the removal cost estimate on costs to the Agency under a contract to perform tire removal actions in the area in which the site is located.

d)         The removal cost estimate must, at a minimum, include all costs for all activities necessary to remove all used and waste tires in accordance with all requirements of this Part.

e)         Once the owner or operator has completed an activity described in subsection (c), the owner or operator may revise the removal cost estimate indicating that the activity has been completed, and zeroing that element of the removal cost estimate.
