IN ADDITION, SUSAN BATES FAILED TO AMEND ITS CLOSURE PLAN, AS REQUIRED BY AP- PLICABLE REGULATIONS, AND TO REQUIRE THE IMMEDIATE CLOSURE OF ITS TWO SURFACE IMPOUNDMENTS, BOTH OF WHICH LOST INTERIM STATUS ON NOV. 8, 1985. ALSO, ON DEC. 6, 1985, SUSAN BATES FAILED TO OPERATE ITS FACILITY IN COMPLIANCE WITH NUMEROUS APPLICABLE INTERIM STATUS STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES, INCLUDING THOSE REQUIRING GROUND-WATER MONITORING.
