    Except as Sec.  264.1 provides otherwise:
    (a) Sections 264.111 through 264.115 (which concern closure) apply 
to the owners and operators of all hazardous waste management 
facilities; and
    (b) Sections 264.116 through 264.120 (which concern post-closure 
care) apply to the owners and operators of:
    (1) All hazardous waste disposal facilities;
    (2) Waste piles and surface impoundments from which the owner or 
operator intends to remove the wastes at closure to the extent that 
these sections are made applicable to such facilities in Sec.  264.228 
or Sec.  264.258;
    (3) Tank systems that are required under Sec.  264.197 to meet the 
requirements for landfills; and
    (4) Containment buildings that are required under Sec.  264.1102 to 
meet the requirement for landfills.
    (c) The Regional Administrator may replace all or part of the 
requirements of this subpart (and the unit-specific standards referenced 
in Sec.  264.111(c) applying to a regulated unit), with alternative 
requirements set out in a permit or in an enforceable document (as 
defined in 40 CFR 270.1(c)(7)), where the Regional Administrator 
determines that:
    (1) The regulated unit is situated among solid waste management 
units (or areas of concern), a release has occurred, and both the 
regulated unit and one or more solid waste management unit(s) (or areas 
of concern) are likely to have contributed to the release; and
    (2) It is not necessary to apply the closure requirements of this 
subpart (and those referenced herein) because the alternative 
requirements will protect human health and the environment and will 
satisfy the closure performance standard of Sec.  264.111 (a) and (b).
