Okla. Admin. Code § 252:730-7-5

Current through Vol. 41, No. 19, June 17, 2024

Section 252:730-7-5 - Corrective action

(a) Groundwater that has been polluted as a result of human activities shall be restored to a quality that will support the beneficial uses designated in OAC 252:730-7-3 for that groundwater, or as otherwise specified in a site-specific remediation plan approved by an agency of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Measures to remedy, control or abate groundwater pollution caused by any person shall be the responsibility of each state environmental agency within its jurisdictional areas. Such measures shall be prescribed in the Water Quality Standards Implementation Plan of each such agency. When regulating activities that have the potential to contaminate groundwater from the surface, state environmental agencies shall consider the vulnerability level of an affected hydrogeologic basin (for example, more stringent measures such as siting limitations, lagoon liners, or additional monitoring wells may be required to protect groundwater in hydrogeologic basins with High or Very High vulnerability levels).
