Sec. 2.
(a) The
				owner, operator, or permittee shall carry out a ground water sampling and
				analysis program that is specified in an approved sampling and analysis plan,
				and that complies with the requirements of this rule. The sampling and analysis
				plan must address all items included in this section, where applicable, and it
				must satisfy the following requirements:
(1)
				For all new MSWLFs permitted under this article, the sampling and analysis plan
				must be approved by the commissioner before the first sampling event
				occurs.
(2) Existing MSWLFs that
				have not previously submitted an approved sampling and analysis plan that
				includes all applicable requirements of this section, must have a plan approved
				by the commissioner by one (1) of the following times, whichever occurs first:
(A) At the time of the next permit renewal
				application.
(B) At
				closure.
(C) At a time determined
				by the commissioner based on information supplied by the MSWLF.
(3) Existing MSWLFs that have, by
				April 13, 1996, submitted to the commissioner an approved sampling and analysis
				plan that does not include all applicable requirements of this rule, must
				submit a revised plan, if deemed necessary by the commissioner, by one (1) of
				the following times, whichever occurs first:
(A) At the time of the next permit renewal
				application.

				alternative location approved by the commissioner.
(6) The sampling and analysis plan must

(A) A description of
				the following:
(i) The method that will be
				used to determine the sequence of sampling of ground water monitoring wells.
				The sequence determination must:
(AA) compare
				ground water monitoring wells that are not contaminated to those that are
				contaminated or to those that have the potential to be contaminated;
				and
(BB) follow the criteria
				described under subsection (b)(8).
(ii) The method of evacuation, including:
(AA) a description of the equipment and
				procedures to be used;
(BB) the
				method for calculating one (1) well volume at each well; and
(CC) the method for measuring the volume of
				water evacuated.
(iii)
				The equipment and procedures to be used in sample collection during detection,
				assessment, and corrective action ground water monitoring programs, including,
				but not limited to:
(AA) the sizes, number,
				and material of containers to be used for collection of samples; and
(BB) the manufacturer, make, and model number
				of field meters for pH, Eh (oxidation-reduction potential), and specific
				conductance. (iv) Copies of the owner's manual for each type of meter used in
				the sampling procedures.
(B) The qualifications and minimum training
				that the owner, operator, or permittee will require of the ground water sampler
