EK 16: Transfer on death, bankruptcy, or liquidation
or “What happens to your environmental restoration account when you die, go bankrupt, or your company is liquidated”
You could also call this:

“Minimum amount for refunds or transfers from environmental restoration accounts”

You can’t get a refund or have money transferred from your environmental restoration account if the amount is too small. The Commissioner won’t give you a refund or make a transfer under sections EK 9, EK 12, EK 15, EK 16, and EK 19 if it’s less than $1,000 or less than what’s left in your account. They’ll choose whichever of these two amounts is smaller. This rule makes sure that only significant amounts are processed.
