Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 11-4-6.5
Current through December 10, 2024
A. Whenever there are insufficient unencumbered funds to pay for the costs of all activities or facilities which have been identified as needing corrective action, the following factors shall be used by the Department in establishing priorities:
(1) Sites where methane gas in explosive
concentrations has migrated from the property boundary and is threatening an
adjacent inhabited building shall receive the highest priority.
(2) Sites or facilities which present a
threat or potential threat to contaminate a drinking water supply that is
currently being used by the public shall be given priority over those which
present a threat or potential threat only to potential drinking water
supplies.
(3) Where a threatened or
potentially threatened drinking water supply is actually being used by the
public, the number of persons currently using the water supply shall be
considered.
(4) Where a threatened
or potentially threatened drinking water supply is not being used by the
public, the number of persons residing within one mile of the site or facility
shall be considered.
(5) The degree
of contamination found, including the areal extent of contamination, the depth
of contamination, the concentration of contaminants, and the toxicity level of
the specific contaminants, shall also be considered
