RCRA REVISION CHECKLIST 174

Post-Closure Permit Requirement and Closure Process

63 FR 56710-56735

October 22, 1998

(RCRA Cluster IX, HSWA1non-HSWA provisions)

Notes: 1) States choosing to adopt this optional checklist must demonstrate the enforcement authority added by

this rule to 40 CFR 271. 16(e) in order to receive authorization for this checklist.

2) The revisions to 40 CFR 264.90(f), 264. 110(c), 264. 112(b)(8), 264. 112(c)(2)(iv), 264.118(b)(4),

264.118(d)(2)(iv), 264.140(d), 265.90(f), 265.110(d), 265.112(b)(8), 265. 112(c)(I)(iv), 265.118(c)(5),

265.118(d)(1)(iii), 265.121(a)(2), 265. 140(d) and 271. 16(e) are promulgated pursuant to HSWA.

Because these provisions are not more stringent, they are immediately effective only in those Sates not

authorized for the base RCRA program. The revisions to 40 CFR 264.90(e), 265. 110(c), 265.118(c)(4),

265.121 (except for 265. 121(a)(2)), 270.1, 270.14(a), and 270.28 are promulgated relative to nonHSWA authority. Those provisions designated as HSWA are identified by a "." (diamond symbol) in

this checklist.
