3.5 Financial Assurance for Corrective Action
27 CCR 22222
The CCR requires landfill owners and operators to demonstrate the availability of financial resources
to conduct corrective action activities for all known or reasonably foreseeable releases from the
disposal facility affecting water quality. An acceptable mechanism to demonstrate financial
responsibility for corrective action is a pledge of revenue.
A pledge of revenue shall consist of a resolution by the governing body of the owner/operator
authorizing an agreement between the owner/operator or provider of financial assurance and the
CIWMB to establish the pledge. The resolution and the agreement shall remain effective continuously
throughout the period in which the pledge of revenue is used to satisfy the requirements of the
California Code of Regulations.
The pledge of revenue agreement shall contain the following items: (1) The types and sources of
pledged revenue; (2) The amount of revenue pledged from each source; (3) The period of time that
each source of revenue is pledged to be available; (4) The solid waste landfill(s) and the current
corrective action cost estimate(s) that are covered by the pledge; and (5) the authorization for the
CIWMB to pay for corrective action if the CIWMB determines that the owner/operator has failed or
is failing to perform corrective action activities covered by the mechanism.
As discussed in Section 2.18, several investigations have been generated related to groundwater
corrective action at the CHLF. The most recent (GeoLogic, 2008) has recommended a combined
implementation of active landfill gas management for groundwater impacts east and west of the
landfill. In addition, the groundwater CAP consists of bioenhancement and groundwater extraction
and treatment to address impacts south of the landfill. The effect of these control closure
improvements on groundwater quality will be evaluated to determine the adequacy of remedial
efforts.
On November 18, 2008, the CIWMB and the Authority entered into a Pledge of Revenue Agreement
for corrective action which complies with 27 CCR 22222. This Pledge of Revenue Agreement was
authorized by the Authority on October 16, 2008 with Resolution No. 2008-47. The Pledge of
Revenue Agreement and supporting documentation is found in Appendix A.
