Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency
Chapter 3745-256 - Containment Buildings, Military Munitions
Section 3745-256-202 - Closure and post-closure care of military munitions

(A) At closure of a magazine or unit which stored hazardous waste under rules 3745-256-200 to 3745-256-202 of the Administrative Code, the owner or operator must remove or decontaminate all waste residues, contaminated containment system components, contaminated subsoils, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste, and manage them as hazardous waste unless paragraph (D) of rule 3745-51-03 of the Administrative Code applies. The closure plan, closure activities, cost estimates for closure, and financial responsibility for magazines or units must meet all of the requirements specified in rules 3745-66-10 to 3745-66-21 and 3745-66-40 to 3745-66-48 of the Administrative Code, except that the owner or operator may defer closure of the unit as long as it remains in service as a munitions or explosives magazine or storage unit.

(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 rule, the owner or operator finds that not all contaminated subsoils can be practicably removed or decontaminated, he must close the facility and perform post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure requirements that apply to landfills (see rule 3745-68-10 of the Administrative Code).
