Section 6 CCR 1007-3-264.575 - Closure
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024
(a) At closure, the owner or operator must remove or decontaminate all waste residues, contaminated containment system components (pad, liners, etc.), contaminated subsoils, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste and leakage, and manage them as hazardous waste.
(b) If, after removing or decontaminating all residues and making all reasonable efforts to effect removal or decontamination of contaminated components, subsoils, structures, and equipment as required in paragraph (a) of this section, the owner or operator then finds that not all contaminated subsoils can be practicably removed or decontaminated, the owner or operator must close the facility and perform post-closure care in accordance with closure and post-closure care requirements that apply to landfills ( § 264.310). For permitted units, the requirement to have a permit continues throughout the post-closure period. In addition, for the purposes of closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility, such a drip pad is then considered to be a landfill, and the owner or operator must meet all of the requirements for landfills specified in Subpart G of this part, and Part 266 of these regulations.
