Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) An owner or operator required pursuant to
				  section 66264.91 to establish a corrective
				  action program for a regulated unit shall, at a minimum, comply with the
				  requirements of this section for that unit.
(b) The owner or operator shall take
				  corrective action to remediate releases from the regulated unit and to ensure
				  that the regulated unit achieves compliance with the water quality protection
				  standard under section
				  66264.92. The Department shall
				  specify the water quality protection standard for corrective action in the
				  facility permit.
(c) The owner or
				  operator shall implement corrective action measures that ensure that
				  constituents of concern achieve their respective concentration limits at all
				  monitoring points and throughout the zone affected by the release, including
				  any portions of the affected zone that extend beyond the facility boundary, by
				  removing the waste constituents or treating them in place. The owner or
				  operator shall take other action specified by the Department to prevent
				  noncompliance with those limits due to a continued or subsequent release from
				  the regulated unit including, but not limited to, source control. The permit
				  shall specify the specific measures that will be taken.
(d) In conjunction with the corrective action
				  measures, the owner or operator shall establish and implement a water quality
				  monitoring program to demonstrate the effectiveness of the corrective action
				  program. Such a monitoring program may be based on the requirements for an
				  evaluation monitoring program under section
				  66264.99, and shall be effective
				  in determining compliance with the water quality protection standard under
				  section 66264.92 and in determining the
				  success of the corrective action measures under subsection (c) of this
				  section.
(e) Corrective action
				  measures taken pursuant to this section shall be initiated and completed by the
				  owner or operator within a period of time specified by the Department in the
				  facility permit.
(f) Corrective
				  action measures taken pursuant to this section may be terminated when the owner
				  or operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Department that the
				  concentrations of all constituents of concern are reduced to levels below their
				  respective concentration limits.
(g) After terminating the corrective action
				  measures pursuant to subsection (f) of this section, the owner or operator
				  shall remain in the corrective action program until:
(1) the owner or operator demonstrates to the
				  satisfaction of the Department that the regulated unit is in compliance with
				  the water quality protection standard. This demonstration shall be based on the
				  results of sampling and analysis for all constituents of concern for a period
				  of one year; and
(2) the owner or
				  operator submits and the Department approves an application for a permit
				  modification to establish a detection monitoring program meeting the
				  requirements of section
				  66264.98.
