| Description | Washington State’s “Minimum Functional Standards for Solid Waste Handing,” Chapter 173-304 WAC, was issued in 1985. It provided standards for several solid waste handling activities, including landfilling. As additional regulations became effective in 1993 and 2003, many operators decided to close their landfills permitted under Chapter 173-304 WAC rather than meet new requirements for landfill operations, closure and post-closure planning, and financial assurance. These landfills then moved into post-closure maintenance and monitoring under the requirements of Chapter 173-304 WAC. Ecology estimates there are more than 60 closed landfills with post-closure permits issued under Chapter 173-304 WAC. These include municipal solid waste, limited purpose, and woodwaste landfills. Operators of many of these landfills may be considering ending the post-closure phase, and discontinuing their solid waste permits. This document provides information on procedures and requirements for ending post-closure at these landfills. It discusses approaches operators and permitting agencies may use to decide when a landfill is ready to end post-closure. |
