Sec. 2.
(a) Owners
				or operators of restricted waste sites Type I and Type II and nonmunicipal
				solid waste landfills shall develop and follow a written ground water
				monitoring plan. The ground water monitoring plan must include consistent
				sampling and analysis procedures to assure that monitoring results will provide
				a reliable indication of ground water quality in the zone being monitored. The
				plan must describe procedures and techniques utilized to comply with
				subsections (b) through (e). A copy of the ground water monitoring plan must be
				kept on-site.
(b) The owner or
				operator of a restricted waste site Type I or Type II or nonmunicipal solid
				waste landfill shall utilize procedures and techniques to ensure that collected
				samples are representative of the zone being monitored and that
				cross-contamination of samples from other monitoring devices or from other
				samples is prevented.
(c) The owner
				or operator of a restricted waste site Type I or Type II or nonmunicipal solid
				waste landfill shall establish a quality assurance program that provides
				quantitative detection limits and the degree of error for analysis of each
				chemical constituent.
(d) The owner
				or operator of a restricted waste site Type I or Type II or nonmunicipal solid
				waste landfill shall establish a sample preservation and shipment procedure
				that maintains the reliability of the sample collected for analysis.
(e) The owner or operator of a restricted
				waste site Type I or Type II or nonmunicipal solid waste landfill shall
				institute a chain of custody procedure to prevent tampering and contamination
				of the collected samples prior to completion of analysis.
(f) The owner or operator of a restricted
				waste site Type I or Type II or nonmunicipal solid waste landfill shall take
				water level measurements and sample monitoring devices for the monitoring
				parameters specified in section 6(b) of this rule or the constituents specified
				in section 7 of this rule on a semiannual basis as specified by the
				commissioner.
(g) The results of
				all water elevation measurements and sampling, including copies of original
				laboratory certified copies of analyses, must be reported to the commissioner
				within sixty (60) days of sampling.
(h) The following background quality at
				existing units may be based on sampling of devices that are not upgradient from
				the waste management area where:
(1)
				Hydrogeologic conditions do not allow the permittee to determine what devices
				are upgradient.
(2) Sampling at
				other devices will provide an indication of background ground water quality
				that is as representative or more representative than that provided by the
				upgradient devices.
