Within 90 days after closure is completed, the owner or operator of a disposal facility must submit to the County Recorder and to the Agency a survey plat indicating the location and dimensions of landfill cells or other disposal areas with respect to permanently surveyed benchmarks. This plat must be prepared and certified by a professional land surveyor. The plat filed with the County Recorder must contain a note, prominently displayed, that states the owner's or operator's obligation to restrict disturbance of the site as specified in Section 725.217(c). In addition, the owner or operator must submit to the Agency and to the County Recorder a record of the type, location, and quantity of hazardous waste disposed of within each cell or area of the facility. The owner or operator must identify the type, location, and quantity of hazardous wastes disposed of within each cell or area of the facility. For wastes disposed of before these regulations were promulgated, the owner or operator must identify the type, location, and quantity of the wastes to the best of his knowledge and in accordance with any records the owner or operator has kept.

a) No later than 60 days after certification of closure of each hazardous waste disposal unit, the owner or operator must submit to the County Recorder, to any local zoning authority, or any authority with jurisdiction over local land use, and to the Agency, a record of the type, location, and quantity of hazardous wastes disposed of within each cell or other disposal unit of the facility. For hazardous wastes disposed of before January 12, 1981, the owner or operator must identify the type, location, and quantity of the hazardous wastes to the best of the owner or operator's knowledge and in accordance with any records the owner or operator has kept.

b) Within 60 days after certification of closure of the first hazardous waste disposal unit and within 60 days after certification of closure of the last hazardous waste disposal unit, the owner or operator must do the following:

1) Record, in accordance with Illinois law, a notation on the deed to the facility property, or on some other instrument that is normally examined during title search, that will in perpetuity notify any potential purchaser of the property of the following:
A) The land has been used to manage hazardous wastes;

B) Its use is restricted pursuant to Subpart G; and

C) The survey plat and record of the type, location, and quantity of hazardous wastes disposed of within each cell or other hazardous waste disposal unit of the facility required by Sections 725.216 and 725.219(a) have been filed with the County Recorder, any local zoning authority, or any authority with jurisdiction over local land use, and with the Agency; and

2) Submit to the Agency a certification signed by the owner or operator that the owner or operator has recorded the notation specified in subsection (b)(1), together with a copy of the document in which the notation has been placed.

c) If the owner or operator or any subsequent owner of the land upon which a hazardous waste disposal unit was located wishes to remove hazardous wastes and hazardous waste residues; the liner, if any; and all contaminated structures, equipment, and soils, such person must request a modification to the approved post-closure plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 725.218(g). The owner or operator must demonstrate that the removal of hazardous wastes will satisfy the criteria of Section 725.217(c). By removing hazardous waste, the owner or operator may become a generator of hazardous waste and must manage it in accordance with all applicable requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, 720 through 728, and 738. If the owner or operator is granted approval to conduct the removal activities, the owner or operator may request that the Agency approve either of the following:

1) Removal of the notation on the deed to the facility property or other instrument normally examined during title search, or

2) Addition of a notation to the deed or instrument indicating the removal of the hazardous waste.
