(a) In order to determine the full extent and location of soils contaminated by the release and the presence and concentrations of dissolved product contamination in the ground water, owners and operators must conduct investigations of the release, the release site, and the surrounding area possibly affected by the release if any of the following conditions exist:

There is evidence that ground-water wells have been affected by the release
(e.g., as found during release confirmation or previous corrective action
measures);
(2) Free product is
found to need recovery in compliance with § 280.64;

may be in contact with ground water (e.g., as found during conduct of the
initial response measures or investigations required under §§ 280.60
through 280.64); and
(4) The MDEQ
requests an investigation, based on the potential effects of contaminated soil
or ground water on nearby surface water and ground-water
