HB 2783 Financial assurance for landfills.

Introduced by: Terry G. Kilgore | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Financial assurance for landfills. Requires the Virginia Waste Management Board, when calculating the amount to be set aside by an owner for assuring the proper closure of a landfill, to include the interest earned by an escrow account. Currently, those local governments using the financial test mechanism as the means of assuring they have enough funds to properly close their landfill have to meet a liquidity and debt service ratio. If these ratios are not met, the locality has to set the required amount aside in an escrow account; however, in calculating the amount to be set aside no credit is given for interest earned by the escrow account. This bill would include the amount of interest earned by the escrow account in calculating the amount to be set aside.
