(b) For use in ensuring the closure and post closure monitoring and maintenance of treatment, storage, or disposal facilities.

If the owner of the property refuses to pay expenses incurred, the expenses shall be assessed against the property and shall be collected and treated in the same manner as taxes assessed under the laws of the state.
