The department finds it necessary to propose these amendments to the rules in order to keep the effective date of these rules in line with the proposed delayed effective date of the U.S. Enviranmental Protection Agency regulations. The proposed rule change will postpone the effective date for ex- isting smaller landfills, and postpone the effective data for financial assurance requirements for all existing Landfills to allow EPA to promulgate financial tests. 4.
