Section 807.501  Purpose, Scope and Applicability

a)         This Subpart contains general provisions governing closure and post-closure care of waste management sites.  These general provisions may be supplemented by more specific closure and post-closure care requirements for certain types of waste management sites, specifically the closure and post-closure care requirements for sanitary landfills contained in Subpart C.

b)         This Subpart requires a closure plan and, for some sites, a post-closure care plan.  These will become permit conditions pursuant to Section 807.206.  Sites which are not required to have a permit pursuant to Section 21(d) of the Act are not required to prepare a closure or post-closure care plan.

c)         The closure plan and post-closure care plan form the basis of the cost estimates and financial assurance required by Subpart F for disposal sites.  The closure plan is also used for making the determination as to whether a unit is a disposal unit or indefinite storage unit, which must provide financial assurance.
