Introduction This report consists of a Closure Plan, Post -Closure Plan, Contingency Action Plan, and the proposed financial assurance for the Elk River Landfill (the Landfill) in Elk River. This report is intended to fulfill the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) requirements for closure (Minnesota Rules (MR) 7035.2625), post -closure (MR 7035.2645 and 7035.2655), and contingency action (MR 7035.2615). Cost estimates for closure, post -closure, and contingency action are included for financial assurance calculations. Section 2.0 of this document presents the Closure Plan for the facility. This Closure Plan includes MPCA notification, schedule, procedures and certification. In addition, the closure costs are presented for purposes of establishing financial assurance needs. Section 3.0 of this document defines a Post -Closure Care Plan for the facility and evaluates costs associated with post -closure care. It adjusts the costs to future dollars and summarizes a 20-year total for financial assurance purposes. Section 4.0 of this document defines a Contingency Action Plan and evaluates costs associated with each contingency. The financial assurance evaluation includes proportional amounts reflecting the probability of each particular contingency, thereby allowing contingency costs to be included in the financial assurance calculations. Section 5.0 of this document defines the financial assurance required for site closure, post -closure care and contingency actions. Financial assurance calculations included in this application were prepared in January 2022 and included as part of the annual report. The financial assurance calculations are updated annually as part of the annual report. The objectives of the closure, post -closure, and contingency action plans are to establish procedures to be followed during each of the activities, and to establish a basis for determining the financial assurance appropriate for the Landfill. Financial assurance in the form of a surety bond has been established for actions on the property owned by Waste Management. In BProject Number: 227705133
