accordance with EPA approved procedures.
2. Ground Water
a. Backgrou.~a -E~ch well must be sa~~led at least three
times and the data submitted to Re~ion IV prior to 2.ny
disposal. A rninimu~ of one week should elapse between
sampling. At each sampling a minirnillTl of two replicate
measurements for each value or concentration should be
made.
IC
,--------------------------
b. During Operation -Dwring operation or for a period of
one year , whicheve r is shorter, all ,,;0lls must be
sa;.pleo rronthly.
c. ?ost Closure -Each well must be SoJ,pled on a semiannual
