Amendments to Rules Concerning Financial Assurance at 329 IAC 10
LSA #11-454

Amends current language to be more consistent with hazardous waste financial assurance mechanisms and will clarify and specify the language required in the financial assurance instruments. The intent is to update the existing rule at 329 IAC 10-39 so that it is current with EPA Financial Assurance Rule guidelines. In some instances, the language in the federal hazardous waste rules was used in formulating the proposed state rule changes. The rulemaking would require restricted waste sites that are using the financial test, except utility owners and operators, to meet both the financial test and the acceptable bond rating under 329 IAC 10-39-2(a)(5). The rulemaking would include a requirement to update the post-closure funds annually after post-closure is initiated. This is a federal requirement.

Amendments to Rules at 329 IAC 15 Concerning Waste Tire Management
LSA #12-200

This rulemaking proposes changes to the waste tire management rules at 329 IAC 15. The rule changes are intended to clarify and update the rules to address current conditions in the industry, and incorporate statutory changes mandated by Public Law 37-2012 into the rules. These changes include eliminating outdated references to Indiana Code (IC) citations, adding definitions and references to improve clarity in the rule, removing the waste tire transporter manifest form from the rule, and updating financial assurance requirements. In addition to those updates, the statutory changes will authorize local government tire amnesty programs as another means to collect and process waste tires. All of these rule changes are designed to increase the efficiency and accuracy of the waste tire rules rather than initiate a major overhaul of waste tire management.
