Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 5, May 24, 2024

Section 61-33.D.14 - Emergency Sites

(A) The Department will declare a Site to be an Emergency Site if:

(1) Any currently used drinking water is contaminated with Drycleaning Solvents or their breakdown products at concentrations greater than the appropriate risk based criteria and/or established standards; or,

(2) Drycleaning Solvents, or their breakdown products, are found in surface soils at concentrations greater than the appropriate risk based criteria and/or established standards for short term exposure and the Department has determined that the potential for human contact is likely.

(B) If the Department declares a Site to be an Emergency Site, money from the Fund will be allocated for the Department to reduce the risk of human exposure. Preference will be given to an action that provides long-term permanent protection without continual maintenance; however, nothing in this section shall preclude the Department from employing temporary measures or technologies to reduce the risk of exposure as deemed appropriate. The Department will notify all exposed individuals and may select the appropriate remedy after consultation with the exposed individuals.
