New Hampshire: Waste
The Department of Environmental Services proposed to readopt, with amendments, regulations governing financial assurance. The amendments would remove outdated references, clarify definitions related to financial assurance mechanisms, revise closure cost estimation procedures, clarify requirements for financial assurance plans and updates to a facility’s closure cost estimate, add conditions for the release of financial assurance obligations, and add procedures for accessing funds guaranteed by a permittee’s financial assurance mechanism. A hearing will be held May 1, 2024.
