Financial Assurances Events

The California Integrated Waste Management Board (Board) has scheduled a number of workshops for landfill long-term financial assurances for postclosure maintenance (PCM), corrective action (CA), and Phase II, Informal Rulemaking as we continue the process begun with the 2007 Study presented to the Board in December 2007.

Purpose of Workshops

Staff will conduct informal workshops to review and discuss proposed amendments to Title 27, California Code of Regulations, Division 2, Subdivision 1, Chapters 4 and 6, long-term financial assurances for postclosure maintenance and corrective actions.

The following workshops have been scheduled to continue the dialogue begun in the fall of 2007 with the AB 2296 Working Group as the Board continues the process of regulatory amendments and potential statutory authority for establishment of a statewide pooled fund.

The workshops are open to all interested parties. All workshops will be held at the Cal/EPA Building in Sacramento, California.
