(1) Remove as much of the regulated substance
				  from the UST system as is necessary to prevent further release to the
				  environment;
(2) Visually inspect
				  any aboveground releases or exposed belowground releases and prevent further
				  migration of the released substance into surrounding soils and
				  groundwater;
(3) Continue to
				  monitor and mitigate any additional fire and safety hazards posed by vapors or
				  free product that have migrated from the UST excavation zone and entered into
				  subsurface structures (such as sewers or basements);
(4) Remedy hazards posed by contaminated
				  soils that are excavated or exposed as a result of release confirmation, site
				  investigation, abatement, or corrective action activities. If these remedies
				  include treatment or disposal of soils, the owner and operator must comply with
				  applicable state and local requirements;
(5) Measure for the presence of a release
				  where contamination is most likely to be present at the UST site, unless the
				  presence and source of the release have been confirmed in accordance with the
				  site check required by Section 280.52(b) or the closure site assessment of
				  Section 280.72(a). In selecting sample types, sample locations, and measurement
				  methods, the owner and operator must consider the nature of the stored
				  substance, the type of backfill, depth to groundwater and other factors as
				  appropriate for identifying the presence and source of the release;
				  and
(6) Investigate to determine
				  the possible presence of free product, and begin free product removal as soon
				  as practicable and in accordance with Section 280.64.

					 In meeting the requirements of this section, owners and operators must:
(a) Conduct free product removal in a manner
				  that minimizes the spread of contamination into previously uncontaminated zones
				  by using recovery and disposal techniques appropriate to the hydrogeologic
				  conditions at the site, and that properly treats, discharges or disposes of
				  recovery byproducts in compliance with applicable local, state, and federal
				  regulations;
(b) Use abatement of
				  free product migration as a minimum objective for the design of the free
				  product removal system;
(c) Handle
				  any flammable products in a safe and competent manner to prevent fires or
				  explosions; and
(d) Unless directed
				  to do otherwise by the Department, prepare and submit to the Department, within

				  at least the following information:
(1) The
				  name of the person(s) responsible for implementing the free product removal
				  measures;
(2) The estimated
				  quantity, type, and thickness of free product observed or measured in wells,
				  boreholes, and excavations;
(3) The
				  type of free product recovery system used;
(4) Whether any discharge will take place
				  on-site or off-site during the recovery operation and where this discharge will
				  be located;
(5) The type of
				  treatment applied to, and the effluent quality expected from, any
				  discharge;
(6) The steps that have

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) In order to determine the full extent and
				  location of soils contaminated by the release and the presence and
				  concentrations of dissolved product contamination in the groundwater, owners
				  and operators must conduct investigations of the release, the release site, and
				  the surrounding area possibly affected by the release if any of the following
				  conditions exist:
(1) There is evidence that
				  groundwater wells have been affected by the release (e.g., as found during
				  release confirmation or previous corrective action measures);
(2) Free product is found to need recovery in
				  compliance with Section 280.64;
(3)
				  There is evidence that contaminated soils may be in contact with groundwater
				  (e.g., as found during conduct of the initial response measures or
				  investigations required under Sections 280.60 through 280.64); and
(4) The Department requests an investigation,
				  based on the potential effects of contaminated soil or groundwater on nearby
				  surface water and groundwater resources.

(a) At any
				  point after reviewing the information submitted in compliance with Sections
				  280.61 through 280.63, the Department may require owners and operators to
				  submit additional information or to develop and submit a corrective action plan
				  for responding to contaminated soils and groundwater. If a plan is required,
				  owners and operators must submit the plan according to a schedule and format
				  established by the Department. Alternatively, owners and operators may, after
				  fulfilling the requirements of Sections 280.61 through 280.63, choose to submit
				  a corrective action plan for responding to contaminated soil and groundwater.
				  In either case, owners and operators are responsible for submitting a plan that
				  provides for adequate protection of human health and the environment as
				  determined by the Department, and must modify their plan as necessary to meet
				  this standard.
(b) The Department
				  will approve the corrective action plan only after ensuring that implementation
				  of the plan will adequately protect human health, safety, and the environment.
				  In making this determination, the Department should consider the following
				  factors as appropriate:
(1) The physical and
				  chemical characteristics of the regulated substance, including its toxicity,
				  persistence, and potential for migration;
(2) The hydrogeologic characteristics of the
				  facility and the surrounding area;
(3) The proximity, quality, and current and
				  future uses of nearby surface water and groundwater;
(4) The potential effects of residual
				  contamination on nearby surface water and groundwater;
(5) An exposure assessment; and
(6) Any information assembled in compliance
				  with this subpart.
