Immediately after construction or installation:

2. soil-based and admixed liners and covers must be inspected for imperfections including lenses, cracks, channels, root holes, or other structural non-uniformities that may cause an increase in the permeability of the liner or cover.

1. deterioration, malfunctions, or improper operation of run-on and run-off control systems;
