(A) No person shall close or cause to be closed a facility regulated pursuant to this chapter without first obtaining a closure permit from the Director of Public Works. He or she shall not issue a permit to temporarily or permanently close a facility unless adequate plans and specifications and other appropriate information have been submitted by the applicant showing that the proposed closure meets the intent and provisions of this chapter.
(B) Closure permits shall be required for all facilities that cease to store, handle, treat, use, or produce regulated substances for a period of more than 365 days or when the owner has no intent within the next year to store, handle, treat, use, or produce regulated substances. During the period of time between cessation of regulated substance storage, handling, treatment, use, or production, and actual completion of facility closure, the applicable containment and monitoring requirements of this chapter shall continue to apply.
