§ 250.302. Point of compliance.
(a) For attainment of the Statewide health standard for groundwater, the point of compliance is the property boundary that existed at the time the contamination was discovered. Statewide health standards shall be attained at and beyond the point of compliance. The Department may determine, in writing, a point of compliance beyond the property boundary to be appropriate if one of the following situations is demonstrated:
(1) Structures are located on the property boundary which prohibit internal or external access for a drill rig.
(2) The property is a small parcel of land with limited space for onsite monitoring wells.
(3) It is not physically possible to monitor groundwater quality at the property boundary.
(4) The downgradient property was owned by the same party at the time the contamination was discovered and the use of the groundwater on the downgradient property can be controlled to prevent unacceptable exposure.
(5) For measuring compliance with the groundwater MSCs that apply to secondary contaminants.
(b) For attainment of the Statewide health standard for soil, the MSC as determined in § 250.305 (relating to MSCs for soil) shall be met at the specified depth.
(c) For the emission of regulated substances to outdoor air, the point of compliance for any applicable air quality standard shall be as specified in the air quality regulations.
