				"Contaminated" means a condition resulting from seepage, drainage, or flow of
				gaseous or liquid substances from activities such as a leaking underground
				storage tank, usually detected by hydro-geologic investigations or underground

				sealed against spillage or evaporative loss.
G. "Equivalent approved by the director"
				means the authorization to substitute an alternative control process, which has
				been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the director to result in no greater

				alternative.
H. "Equivalent method"
				means any method of sampling and analyzing for an air pollutant which is not a
