(A) Whenever a facility is to be closed, which facility closure is subject to the provisions of § 8001.13.3 of the Fire Code, the Fire Chief may require the permit holder or applicant to post a bond in an amount sufficient to pay for the cost of transporting, disposing of or reusing the hazardous materials stored, handled or used in the facility, in order to eliminate the need for further maintenance and any threat to public health and safety.
(B) The Fire Department shall make demand on such bond only in the event that the permit holder or applicant fails to eliminate any such need or threat prior to the closure of the facility, and shall expend only such amount as is necessary to so act, with the unexpended balance, if any, to be returned to the permit holder or applicant.
