This chapter sets forth rules for the content and timing of preparing site restoration or preservation plans for implementation at the conclusion of a plant’s operating life; if a project is terminated; or if construction is suspended. The council shall apply these rules to site certification agreements issued in connection with applications filed after the effective date of this chapter. Except for the provisions in chapter 463-36 WAC, these regulations shall not apply to energy facilities for which site certification agreements have been issued before the effective date of this chapter.
