  to assist in the closure of any existing unlined landfills accepting solid waste as
  of June 9, 1992. (b) The amount of any grants made under this section shall not exceed the actual costs
  of closure of the facility, minus an amount equal to the total tonnage of waste disposed
  at the facility between July 1, 1989 and the last date of acceptance of solid waste
  for disposal at the facility, multiplied by $24.00 per ton. Eligible closure costs
  shall include all necessary construction costs, a reasonable cost for engineering
  oversight, and an amount, not to exceed five percent or $50,000.00, whichever is less,
  of the construction costs, to cover the legal, administrative, and fiscal costs. (Added 1991, No. 256 (Adj. Sess.), § 29, eff. June 9, 1992; amended 2005, No. 215 (Adj. Sess.), § 214; 2019, No. 131 (Adj. Sess.), § 27.)
