Section 277.07. Points of standards application.

 

(1)  Each of the following locations shall, with the consent of the owner of the property where the point is located, or pursuant to a special inspection warrant under s. 66.0119 , Stats., be a point of standards application for each storage facility for the purpose of determining compliance with ch. 160 , Stats. :

(a) Any point of groundwater use within 1500 feet of any portion of the storage facility, and at any depth from which groundwater is drawn for potable or nonpotable use.

(b) Any point within 1500 feet of any portion of the storage facility, or any point inside of the property boundaries enclosing the storage facility, at which the monitoring agency determines it to be necessary to apply standards in order to adequately perform monitoring.

(c) Any point beyond 1500 feet from the storage facility may also be accepted by the department as a point of standards application if the monitoring agency first demonstrates to the satisfaction of the department that probable cause exists to believe that a facility, activity or practice regulated by the department under this chapter has caused the preventive action limit or enforcement standard for a substance regulated by the department to be attained or exceeded at that point.

(2)  A property owner who stores highway salt on his or her property or permits others to do so has also consented to employees of the monitoring agency, as agents of the department, coming upon his or her property during normal business hours, obtaining and removing such water samples as are reasonably necessary for both monitoring required under ch. 160 , Stats. , and enforcement of this chapter by the department.
