This looks to be a helpful amendment considering what is going on with the Shoosmith Landfill in Chesterfield, Virginia. 

I am a firm believer in the Strong Towns ethos that larger projects should bear a larger burden of costs; landfills are massive investments, and thus should be required to put away similarly sized amounts of funding to ensure their safety should the operator experience issues like bankruptcy. By requiring additional funding stores, the taxpayer is shielded from acting as the safety net for corporate profits.
