Not sure about the JEs....
The concept is to follow some environment protection rules for operating MSWLF.
Summary :-
v An EPA rule requires all municipal
landfills to meet stringent location, design, and operating requirements
v Operators must also provide financial assurance they can properly close landfills when full and provide post-closure ground water monitoring for 30 years after closure
v These stringent rules are designed to protect the environment from irresponsible handling of hazardous materials
Recognition requirements :-
v Estimate the current cost of hiring a qualified third-party to close the MSWLF and care for it for 30 years after closure
v Recognize a portion of this cost proportionate to the ratio of estimated capacity utilized during a year over the total capacity of the landfill as an expense of the enterprise fund and as a liability
v Annual adjustments are made as estimates change from year to year.
