Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) At closure of a containment building, the
				  owner or operator shall remove or decontaminate all waste residues,
				  contaminated containment system components (liners, etc.,) contaminated
				  subsoils, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste and leachate,
				  and manage them as hazardous waste unless section
				  66261.3(d)
				  applies. The closure plan, closure activities, cost estimates for closure, and
				  financial responsibility for containment buildings shall meet all of the
				  requirements specified in articles 7 and 8 of this chapter.
(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 subsection, the owner or operator finds that not all
				  contaminated subsoils can be practicably removed or decontaminated, the owner
				  or operator shall close the facility and perform post-closure care in
				  accordance with the closure and post-closure requirements that apply to
				  landfills (section
				  66264.310). In addition, for the
				  purposes of closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility, such a
				  containment building is then considered to be a landfill, and the owner or
				  operator shall meet all of the requirements for landfills specified in articles
				  7 and 8 of this chapter.
