Owners or operators of solid waste facilities requiring closing and/or long-term care financial assurance shall annually adjust their facility closure cost estimates for inflation and submit updated information to the department. Most permittees must follow Rule 62‑701.630(4), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). See special notes below for used oil and waste tire facilities.
When demonstrating proof of financial assurance, owners or operators can choose from a list of approved financial mechanisms that best meet their individual needs. The dollar amount of financial assurance required is tied to the current department approved closure cost estimate.
To support compliance with solid waste financial assurance requirements, we provide assistance to facility owners and operators, their consultants and provider companies.
