Article 5. Release from Financial Assurance Requirements
9VAC20-70-260. Release of the owner or operator from the financial assurance requirements.
Article 5
Release from Financial Assurance Requirements
Within 60 days after receiving certification from the owner or operator that closure, post-closure care or corrective action has been accomplished in accordance with the requirements of the permit or the order, the director shall verify whether proper closure, post-closure care, or corrective action has occurred. Unless the director has reason to believe that closure, post-closure care or corrective action has not been in accordance with the appropriate plan or other requirements, he shall notify the owner or operator in writing that he is no longer required to maintain financial assurance for the particular unit or facility. Such notice shall release the owner or operator only from the requirements for financial assurance for the unit or facility; it does not release him from legal responsibility for meeting the closure, post-closure care or corrective action standards. If no written notice of termination of financial assurance requirements or failure to properly perform closure, post-closure care or corrective action is received by the owner or operator within 60 days after certifying proper closure, post-closure care or corrective action, the owner or operator may submit a written request to the director for an immediate decision in which case the director shall respond within 10 days after receipt of such request.
