Sec. 264.146  Use of a mechanism for financial assurance of both 
closure and post-closure care.

    An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements for financial 
assurance for both closure and post-closure care for one or more 
facilities by using a trust fund, surety bond, letter of credit, 
insurance, financial test, or corporate guarantee that meets the 
specifications for the mechanism in both Sec. Sec. 264.143 and 264.145. 
The amount of funds available through the mechanism must be no less than 
the sum of funds that would be available if a separate mechanism had 
been established and maintained for financial assurance of closure and 
of post-closure care.
