If the plan is not approved, the department's response shall specify the reason(s) why.(d) The department shall approve the proposed plan if the department determines that the proposed alternative locations or SOP will result in samples that are more likely to verify and determine the extent of potential contamination of the distribution system area based on specific situations than the existing locations or SOP, as applicable.(e) If the department determines that the proposed alternative locations or SOP would be acceptable with modifications, the department shall inform the owner of such modifications. If the department makes modifications, the owner shall either implement the plan as modified or take samples in the location(s) specified in Env-Dw 709.15.N.H. Code Admin. R. Env-Dw 709.16
