the manufacturer's instructions;
(B) a code of practice developed by a
nationally recognized association or independent testing laboratory;
or
(C) according to requirements
established by the department.
(g) within six months following the repair of
any cathodically protected UST system, the cathodic protection system must be
tested in accordance with ARM
