43.60(f) (f) To avoid unnecessary duplication and expense, the Agency may accept • security that has been consolidated with security arrangements established to meet requirements of other state agencies for decommis- sioning, decontmnination, reclamation, restoration, and disposal if that security provides the same or a greater degree of protection. (g) The applicant/licensee's security will be reviewed annually by the Agency to assure that sufficient funds will be available for comple- tion of the closure plan if the work had to be performed by an independent contractor. The amount of security shall be adjusted to recognize any increases or decreases resulting from inflation, changes in engineering plans, activities performed, and any other conditions affecting costs. Regardless of whether reclamation is phased through the life of the operation or takes place at the end of operations, an appropriate portion of security shall be retained until final _ compliance with the closure plan is determined by the Agency. (h) Security shall be for the duration of the license and for a period coincident with the applicant/licensee's responsibility under the Act and these rules. (i) No later than 90 days after the licensee notifies the Agency that decontamination, decommissioning, reclamation, restoration, and disposal have been completed, the Agency shall determine if these have been conducted in accordance with these rules and the conditions of the license. If the Agency finds that the requirements have been met, the Director of the Radiation Control Program shall direct the return • or release of the licensee's security in full plus any accumulated interest within 14 days. If the Agency finds that the requirements have not been met, the Agency will notify the licensee of the steps necessary for compliance. (j) On the effective date of these rules, current licenses in effect may continue provided that the required security arrangements be submitted to the Agency. 43.70 Long-Term Care and Maintenance Requirements (a) Unless otherwise provided by the Agency, each licensee licensed pursuant to this part shall make payments into the Radiation and Perpetual Care Fund in amounts specified by the Agency. The Agency shall make such determinations on a case by case basis. (b) The final disposition of tailings or wastes should be such that the need for ongoing active maintenance is eliminated to the maximum exteht practicable. • 43 - 14 (April 1990)
