The minor revisions include adding perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) to the list of minimum sampling requirements.

Description: This TGD outlines the procedures for sample collection and provides a list of the minimum new source sampling requirements for all new community and nontransient noncommunity groundwater systems and transient noncommunity groundwater systems that are required to obtain a Department-issued construction permit.

Interim Final TGD: Rescission
DEP ID: 252-6600-516. Title: Review of Residual and Hazardous Waste Source Reduction Strategies. Description: With an effective date of December 10, 1993, this TGD provided background information on the purpose and intent of the Source Reduction Strategy (SRS) requirement and guidance on implementing the requirement in a manner that would promote meaningful source reduction. The residual and hazardous waste regulations require each waste generator to prepare an SRS describing what the generator intends to do to reduce or eliminate, at the source, the amount and toxicity of each waste type generated. In the intervening years, best practices have evolved and have been refined and the SRS 2540-PM-BWM0349, also known as Form 25R, no longer refers to 252-6600-516. Therefore, this TGD is obsolete.
Contact: Questions regarding this TGD should be directed to Crystal Heshmat, (717) 787-4973, cheshmat@ pa.gov.
