Cleanup Standards Scientific Advisory Board Meeting
February 22, 2001
The IRRC had comments in 4 general areas:
Nonuse Aquifer Designation:
- What is the required method for a remediator to send notice to a municipality and public water supplier? Is certified mail required? Are electronic submittals permitted?
- How is receipt of a request for a nonuse aquifer designation to be documented
- How was the 90-day public comment period determined for the public involvement program associated with a nonuse aquifer precertification request
- Clarification of what is meant by convenient times and locations for documents to be available to the public
- Clarification of the word "near" when referring to the location for public hearings and meetings
- Questions regarding the expiration of a precertification approval. How was the three-year period determined; would a longer time period suffice; what is the process for re-certifying, and is there another public involvement plan required
Ecological Screen
- Clarification of the meaning of "release" in regard to the ecological screen. Is it limited to the release being remediated?
Reduced requirements for small excavations:
- What is meant by "full characterization"
- Does the procedure apply only to underground storage tanks
- Clarify what is meant by "all samples must meet Statewide health standards"
Standards Tables:
- Tables should be reviewed and corrected for final regulations
- Standards for PCBs should be clarified. If more stringent than EPA, provide justification.
