1. During the first year when initial background concentrations are being established for the facility: Concentrations or values of the parameters listed in s. NR 665.0092 (2) (a) for each groundwater monitoring well within 15 days after completing each quarterly analysis. The owner or operator shall separately identify for each monitoring well any parameters whose concentration or value has been found to exceed the maximum contaminant levels listed in ch.

During the active life of the facility, this information shall be submitted no later than March 1 following each calendar year.

3. No later than March 1 following each calendar year: Results of the evaluations of groundwater surface elevations under s. NR 665.0093 (6) , and a description of the response to that evaluation, where applicable.

(2)  If the groundwater is monitored to satisfy the requirements of s. NR 665.0093 (4) (d) , the owner or operator shall do all of the following:

(a) Keep records of the analyses and evaluations specified in the plan, which satisfies the requirements of s. NR 665.0093 (4) (c) , throughout the active life of the facility, and, for disposal facilities, throughout the long-term care period as well.

(b) Annually, until final closure of the facility, submit to the department a report containing the results of the groundwater quality assessment program which includes, but is not limited to, the calculated (or measured) rate of migration of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents in the groundwater during the reporting period. This information shall be submitted no later than March 1 following each calendar year.
