      units. The owner or operator of a surface impoundment, waste pile, 
      landfill, or land treatment unit that receives or has received waste 
      (hereinafter referred to as "waste management units", or "Units") that is 
      subject to the SWRCB-promulgated requirements of this division, pursuant 
      to ss 20080 and 20090 shall comply with the provisions of this article for 
      purposes of detecting, characterizing, and responding to releases to 
      ground water, surface water, or the unsaturated zone. Furthermore, s20400 
      of this article also applies to all determinations of alternative cleanup 
      levels for unpermitted discharges to land of solid waste, pursuant to 
      ¶III.G. of SWRCB Resolution No. 92-49 [s2550.4 of Title 23 of this code 
      serves a similar function for unpermitted discharges to land of hazardous 
      waste].

      (b) Known or Reasonably Foreseeable Release -In accordance with applicable 
      requirements of ss 22220-22222, waste discharge requirements (WDRs) for a 
      Unit subject to this section shall contain a provision which requires the 
      discharger to obtain and maintain assurances of financial responsibility 
      for initiating and completing corrective action for all known or 
      reasonably foreseeable releases from the Unit.

      (c) [Reserved]

      (d) Apply Unless Clean-Closed -The regulations under this article apply 
      during the Unit's active life and closure period. After closure of the 
      Unit, the regulations in this article apply during the post-closure 
      maintenance period of the Unit and during any compliance period under 
      s20410 of this article, unless:

      (1) the Unit has been in compliance with the water quality protection 
      standard ( "Water Standard" of s20390) for a period of three consecutive 
      years; and

      (2) Clean-Closure -all waste, waste residues, contaminated containment 
      system components, contaminated subsoils, and all other contaminated 
      materials are removed or decontaminated at closure, pursuant to: 
      s21090(f), for landfills; s21400(b)(1), for surface impoundments; or 
      s21410(a)(1), for waste piles.

      (e) Allowable Engineered Alternatives -In considering a monitoring 
      proposal by the discharger, the RWQCB can allow an engineered alternative 
      for any of the prescriptive standards in this article so long as the 
RWQCB:

      (1) finds that each engineered alternative meets the requirements of 
      s20080(b & c);

      (2) finds, for each applicable program under s20385, that the discharger's 
      proposed monitoring-data procurement and analysis methods achieve the 
      program's respective goals, including:

      (A) for a detection monitoring program, the goals articulated in 
s20420(b);

      (B) for an evaluation monitoring program, the goals articulated in 
      s20425(a)(2); and

      (C) for a corrective action program, the goals articulated in s20430(b);

      (3) requires ground water monitoring at least annually at disposal Units 
      and at Units that will be used for five or more years for waste treatment 
      or storage.
