This demonstration must be certified by a qualified ground-water scientist and approved by the Director, and must be based upon: (a) site-specific field collected measurements, sampling, and analysis of physical, chemical, and biological processes affecting contaminant fate and transport; and(b) contaminant fate and transport predictions that maximize contaminant migration and consider impacts on human health and the environment.(4) Once a ground water monitoring system and program has been established at a disposal facility, ground water monitoring shall continue to be conducted throughout the active life, closure, and post-closure care periods as specified by the Director.(5) A facility that has a ground water monitoring alternative approved under Subsection R315-302-1(2)(e)(vi) is subject to the standards specified in Subsection R315-303-2(1) and the approved alternative shall be revoked by the Director if the operation of the facility impacts groundwater.Utah Admin.
