Iowa Administrative Code › Agency 567 - Environmental Protection Commission › Title IX - Spills and Hazardous Conditions › Chapter 133 - Rules for Determining Cleanup Actions and Responsible Parties › Rule 567-133.1 - Scope

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1) These rules
				establish the procedures and criteria the department will use to determine the
				parties responsible and cleanup actions necessary to meet the goals of the
				state pertaining to the protection of the groundwater. These rules pertain to
				the cleanup of groundwater itself and soils and surface water where groundwater
				may be impacted. They may also be used as guidelines in other environmental
				protection activities authorized by Iowa Code chapter 455B. Where specific
				federal or state programs or funds exist to address situations that are also
				governed by these rules, the rules and standards of the specific programs or
				funds will be integrated and utilized to achieve an equitable, expeditious and
				environmentally sound resolution of the particular contamination situation.
				These rules apply specifically to point source contamination only.
(2) These rules apply specifically to cleanup
				actions required to abate, prevent or remediate a hazardous condition, the
				presence of a hazardous substance or waste, the release of a regulated
				substance, or the discharge of a pollutant as those terms are defined in Iowa
				Code chapter 455B.
(3) These rules
				shall not limit the department's authority to require remedial or preventative
				action, or to take remedial or preventative action, as necessary to protect the
				public health, the environment, or the quality of life. The department will
				make its evaluation on a case-by-case basis, considering site characteristics,
				and where more than one contaminant is present or there is no established
				action level, will consider the toxicity, mobility and persistence of
				contaminants involved. The evaluation may include the potential synergistic,
				antagonistic, or cumulative effects of the contaminants involved in a
				particular case.
(4) Persons
				subject to these rules retain all applicable appeal rights provided in Iowa
				Code chapter 455B.
(5) This chapter
				is applicable to releases of petroleum from underground storage tanks subject
				to regulation under Iowa Code chapter 455B, Division IV, Part 8, to the extent
				they are not inconsistent with the corrective action rules in
				567-1356.
				(455B) to
				567-13517.
				(455B). This subrule is not intended to limit the authority of the department
				to establish liability against responsible parties other than owners and
				operators as defined in Iowa Code sections
				455B471(5). and
				455B471(6)..

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
Sampling and analytical
				procedures.
Unless rules for specific programs under USEPA or
				department authority provide otherwise, or unless other methods are approved by
				the department for a specific situation, samples taken and analyses made to
				document contamination or cleanup levels under this chapter shall be conducted
				in accordance with the following:
a.
Samples.
"A Compendium of Superfund Field Operations Methods,"
				USEPA, Office of Emergency and Remedial Response, Washington, D.C. 20460
				(EPA/540/P-87/001, OSWER Directive 93.55.0-1 4, December 1987).
b.
Analyses.
"Test Methods
				for Evaluation of Solid Waste, Physical-Chemical Methods (SW-846)," USEPA,
				Third Edition, November 1986, as revised through December 1988. Until the
				department adopts rules regarding certification of laboratories, analyses shall
				be conducted at a laboratory that certifies to the department that the
				appropriate analytical procedure is utilized, or a laboratory which has been
				approved under EPA's Contract Laboratory Program. Upon adoption of rules by the
				department regarding certification of laboratories, all analyses shall be made
				at a certified laboratory. The parties, both the department and person
				responsible for investigating, shall have the opportunity to split samples for
				independent analysis, and where appropriate a sample portion shall be retained
				for a reasonable period of time for possible reanalysis.

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
Prevention of further contamination.
In all cases where an
				active source of contamination is identified, such as leaking tanks or current
				practices, which may be readily corrected, the source shall be removed,
				repaired or otherwise contained, or the contaminating practices ceased,
				immediately upon discovery of the source. In addition, readily accessible
				contaminants, for example concentrated contaminants spilled on the ground or
				accessible through a recovery well or system, shall be promptly removed to
				avoid or minimize further contamination in the groundwater.
(2)
Aggravated risk.
Where
				the contamination presents an aggravated risk, the preventative, investigatory
				and remedial measures provided in subrules 133.4(1) and 133.4(3) shall be
				expedited to remove such risk. In addition, the following actions shall be
				taken by the responsible parties, if necessary, to protect the public health or
				environment:
a. Providing alternate water
				supplies.
b. Installing security
				fencing or other measures to limit access.
c. Extraordinary measures to control the
				source of release.
d. Removal of
				hazardous substances to an approved site for storage, treatment or
				disposal.
e. Placing physical
				barriers to deter the spread of the release.
f. Recommending to appropriate authorities
				the evacuation of threatened individuals.
g. Using other materials to restrain the
				spread of the contaminant or to mitigate its effects.
h. Executing damage control or salvage
				operations.

A "groundwater professional" is a person who provides
				  subsurface soil contamination and groundwater consulting services, or who
				  contracts to perform or who supervises remediation or corrective action
				  services at leaking underground storage tank sites. A person who engages only
				  in installation or removal of underground storage tanks and piping is not a
				  "groundwater professional" for the purposes of this chapter.
