SANITARY LANDFILL ESCROW ACCOUNTS
WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURES


In accordance with N.J.A.C. 1:26-1.4, 2A.9 (g), the disbursement of funds from a Sanitary Landfill Escrow Account must be authorized by the Department in advance and is payable on a reimbursable basis.

The following forms and documents are required for the withdrawal of funds:

SFA-004, Request for Escrow Funds
The Owner/Operator of the landfill should sign this form

P .E. Certification Statement
A licensed New Jersey Professional Engineer must sign this form.

The above forms are designed for closure and post-closure activities; however, the language may be changed to reflect environmental improvements.

Requests for the disbursement of escrow funds must be sent in duplicate to the attention of Howard Reading at the above address. The first request should be identified as X 05-1. The "X" indicates the name of the landfill. The "05" indicates the calendar year in which the request is filed. The "1" indicates the first request filed. Subsequent requests should continue in numerical order changing with the calendar year. For example, if the last request in 2004 is ABC Landfill 04-7, than the first request in 2005 is ABC Landfill 05-8.

Upon approval by the Department, the Escrow Agent is provided with written authorization to disburse funds from the Escrow Account. A copy of the Department's authorization is sent to the landfill Owner/Operator.

Requests for the disbursement of escrow funds should be submitted in packages; not as individual invoices or in very small amounts, but at logical intervals (monthly is suggested) in reasonable amounts. Notwithstanding any deficiencies found with the request, the Department will make every effort to complete processing within sixty days from the date the request is received.

Requests must include the above form and certification and be supported by invoices for the materials, supplies, labor, equipment and related costs referred to therein.

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 48:3-7.1, costs incurred under contracts between public utilities and corporations, or persons owning or controlling utility stock, shall not be acceptable for reimbursement until the contract is approved in writing by the Department.
