NR 661.0004 (1) (x) 6. f. to maintain financial assurance for that facility or a unit at the facility, unless the department has reason to believe that all hazardous secondary material have not been removed from the facility or unit at a facility or that the facility or unit has not been decontaminated in accordance with the approved plan. The department shall provide the owner or operator a detailed written statement of any such reason to believe that all hazardous secondary material have not been removed from the unit or that the unit has not been decontaminated in accordance with the approved plan.
