An exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the compliance boundary is subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C. [15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2), 02L .0107(b)] 14. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0108, the review boundaries for the high -rate infiltration basins at the IP Tract and the Mercer Mill sites are established midway between the compliance boundary and the effluent disposal area. Any exceedance of groundwater standards at the review boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106. [15A NCAC 02L .0106, 02L .0108] 15.
