Section 33-24-08-55 - Investigations for soil and ground water cleanup1. 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 ground water, 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: a. There is evidence that ground water wells have been affected by the release (for example, as found during release confirmation or previous corrective action measures); b. Free product is found to need recovery in compliance with section 33-24-08-54; c. There is evidence that contaminated soils may be in contact with ground water (for example, as found during conduct of the initial response measures or investigations required under sections 33-24-08-50 through 33-24-08-54); and d. The department requests an investigation, based on the potential effects of contaminated soil or ground water on nearby surface water and ground water resources. 2. Owners and operators must submit the information collected under subsection 1 as soon as practicable or in accordance with a schedule established by the department. N.D. Admin Code 33-24-08-55
