and escape pathways of the elements of concern;
(b) Determines the type, extent and ability
of a system needed to contain or confine any migrating contaminant;
and
(c) Identifies methods which
can be carried out to remediate the contamination during the continued
operation of the facility or at permanent closure.
2. The Department shall, based on the information provided pursuant to subsection 1:
(a) Require the immediate shut down of the
process component and the immediate initiation of cleanup activities;
(b) Allow continued operation of the process
component which is the source of the elements of concern with concurrent
cleanup activities;
(c) Allow
continued operation of the process component which is the source of the
elements of concern while requiring the facility to continue to control the
migration of the contaminant while cleanup activities are postponed;
or
(d) Determine that no remedial
action is warranted at the present time.
