How has EPA addressed financial assurance in the final rule?
EPA is finalizing a financial assurance requirement for reclamation and intermediate facilities as a condition of the transfer-based exclusion. The condition is functionally equivalent to the financial assurance requirements for hazardous waste facilities, but has been tailored to apply to hazardous secondary materials recycling. For the convenience of the regulated community, the new financial assurance provisions are located in 40 CFR 261 Subpart H.
