(1) Financial Assurance. (a) The owner or operator of each solid waste surface impoundment shall establish financial assurance as required by Rule R315-309. (b) If the owner or operator of a solid waste surface impoundment has financial assurance, in effect and active, that covers the costs of closure and post-closure care of the surface impoundment as required by another federal or state agency that is as stringent as the requirements of Rule R315-309, the director may exempt the solid waste surface impoundment from the financial assurance requirements of Rule R315-309. (2) Upon closure, the owner or operator of each solid waste surface impoundment shall: (a) excavate, remove, and dispose of any liners, sludges, stained soils, and other solid wastes associated with the solid waste surface impoundment for disposal in a permitted solid waste management facility and install soil and seed according to Subsection R315-303-3(5)(a)(ii); or (b) get a permit from the director to dispose of residual nonhazardous solid wastes associated with the solid waste surface impoundment on site, in compliance with Subsection R315-303-3(5) relating to closure requirements; or (c) a combination of Subsections R315-322-7(2)(a) and R315-322-7(2)(b), as approved by the director; and (d) make the required recording with the county recorder specified in Subsection R315-302-2(6).
