b) The Closure Report shall include the following information:
1) Analytical results,
including the mean and standard deviation for each analyte, from the soil
sampling of the land application area:
A)
conducted no later than two months prior to planting of the following crop;
or
B) in the case of field access
lanes or farmland currently enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program,
conducted no later than six months after the application of contaminated soil
or groundwater ;
2)
Documentation of the actual amounts of contaminated soil or groundwater that
was land applied and calculations indicating that the application rates were
equal to or less than those authorized by the Department;
3) Documentation of how the contaminated soil
or groundwater was incorporated into the soils in the land application
area.
c) Upon receipt of a Closure Report, the Department shall review the submittal and evaluate whether the report indicates that agrichemical levels in the soil at the proposed time of closure are below the soil closure objective concentrations listed in Appendix C of this Part.
1) If the
submittal indicates that agrichemical concentrations in the land application
area are below the soil closure objective concentrations listed in Appendix C
of this Part, the Department shall issue a Notice of Closure within 45 days
after receipt. The Notice of Closure shall indicate the applicant has land
applied contaminated soil or groundwater to the application area in accordance
with the Authorization and all requirements of this Part. An applicant that has
been issued a Notice of Closure shall no longer be subject to the requirements
of this Part.
2) If the submittal

below the soil closure objective concentrations as listed in Appendix C of this
Part, the Department shall, within 45 days from the date of receipt of the
Closure Report, notify the applicant in writing as to why a Notice of Closure
was not issued. The Department may require additional sampling and analyses of
samples of the land application area and prescribe remedial measures to be
conducted by the applicant to reduce the concentrations of agrichemicals in the
land application area or to mitigate any potential adverse effects on crops or
the environment. The applicant must conduct the prescribed activities and must
prepare and submit a Closure Report detailing the results of the additional
sampling and other measures as prescribed by the Department.
