# §265.146. Use of a mechanism for financial assurance of both closure and post-closure care.


An owner or operator may satisfy the requirements for financial assurance for both closure and post-closure care for one or more facilities by using a trust fund, surety bond, letter of credit, insurance, financial test, or corporate guarantee that meets the specifications for the mechanism in both §§ [265.143](/cfr/40/265.143.md) and [265.145](/cfr/40/265.145.md). The amount of funds available through the mechanism must be no less than the sum of funds that would be available if a separate mechanism had been established and maintained for financial assurance of closure and of post-closure care.
