The proceeds of bonds issued under this section for closure, postclosure, and contingency costs and noncapital responses to releases may be used only for solid waste facilities in existence on May 15, 1989. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the bonds must be issued and sold in accordance with the provisions of chapter 475. The proceeds of the bonds may be used in part to establish a reserve as further security for the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds when due. Bonds issued under this section may be sold at public or private sale upon conditions that the county board determines. No election is required to authorize the issuance of bonds under this section.
