contravene classified groundwater standards. This demonstration has been

Permittee to insure proper operation of the subject facilities.

least the date and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance,
E

repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall
be maintained by the Permittee for a period of three years from the date of the

must be maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit, and may obtain
samples of groundwater, surface water, or leachate.

accordance with the conditions of this permit, the approved plans and
specifications, and other supporting data.
