Sec. 146.73  Financial responsibility for post-closure care.

    The owner or operator shall demonstrate and maintain financial 
responsibility for post-closure by using a trust fund, surety bond, 
letter of credit, financial test, insurance or corporate guarantee that 
meets the specifications for the mechanisms and instruments revised as 
appropriate to cover closure and post-closure care in 40 CFR part 144, 
subpart F. The amount of the funds available shall be no less than the 
amount identified in Sec. 146.72(a)(4)(vi). The obligation to maintain 
financial responsibility for post-closure care survives the termination 
of a permit or the cessation of injection. The requirement to maintain 
financial responsibility is enforceable regardless of whether the 
requirement is a condition of the permit.
