Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6645488

This guidance manual supports 40 CFR Parts 264 and 265 Subpart G (Closure-Post-Closure regulations) and Subpart H (Cost Estimating Rules). The manual is to be used to help regulatory officials implement the closure and post-closure care regulations and to help hazardous-waste-facility owners and operators prepare closure plans and cost estimates that satisfy these regulations. Specifically, this manual does the following: clarifies the intent and scope of the closure and post-closure plan and cost estimate regulatory requirements, provides examples of the types of information that should be included in closure and post-closure plans and cost estimates, covers site-specific factors that may affect closure and post-closure care activities, and provides cost and post-closure plan checklists to aid in preparing and reviewing plans. The guidance supports requirements that apply to interim status and permitted hazardous-waste facilities. Also included are closure timeliness, discussions of technical criteria and site-specific factors relevant to evaluating the length of the post-closure care period, and closure and post-closure plan checklists for most types of treatment, storage, or disposal units.
