(1)
Risk-based corrective action assessment reports, corrective action
				plans, and corrective action design reports accepted before August 6,
				2008.
Any owner or operator who had a Tier 2 site cleanup report, Tier
				3 report, or corrective action design report approved by the department before
				August 6, 2008, may elect to submit a Tier 2 site cleanup report using the
				Appendix B revised model, department-developed software and rules in effect as
				of August 6, 2008. The owner or operator shall notify the department that the
				owner or operator wishes to evaluate the leaking underground storage tank site
				with the Appendix B revised model, software and rules. If the owner or operator
				so elects, the site shall be assessed, classified, and, if necessary,
				remediated, in accordance with the rules of the department as of August 6,
				2008. If the leaking underground storage tank site is undergoing active
				remediation, the remediation system shall remain operating until the
				reevaluation is completed and accepted or as otherwise approved by the
				department. Once a site has been evaluated using the Appendix B revised model,
				software and rules in effect as of August 6, 2008, it can no longer be
				evaluated with the Appendix B-1 old model and software and rules in effect
				prior to August 6, 2008.

Risk-based corrective action assessment reports, corrective action
				plans, and corrective action design reports in the process of preparation with
				a submittal schedule established prior to August 6, 2008.
The owner or
				operator shall notify the department that the owner or operator wishes to use
				the Appendix B revised model and department software and rules in effect as of
				August 6, 2008, to evaluate the leaking underground storage tank site before
				submitting the next report, and prior to expiration of the previously
				established submittal schedule. Once a site has been evaluated using the
				Appendix B revised model, software and rules in effect as of August 6, 2008, it
				can no longer be evaluated with the Appendix B-1 old model, software and rules
				existing just prior to August 6, 2008.

				assessment reports, corrective action plans, and corrective action design
				reports received by the department but not yet reviewed.

				the owner or operator is electing to complete a risk-based corrective action
				assessment using Appendix B revised model, department software and rules
				effective as of August 6, 2008, or proceeding with the risk-based corrective
				action assessment using Appendix B-1 old model and department software and
				rules existing prior to August 6, 2008. Once a site has been evaluated using
				the Appendix B revised model, software and rules it can no longer be evaluated
				with the previous Appendix B-1 old model, software and rules.
