i. Whenever hazardous constituents under 7:14A-10.7 from a hazardous waste facility unit exceed concentration limits under 7:14A-10.8 in ground water between the relevant point of compliance under 7:14A-10.9 and the downgradient hazardous waste facility property boundary, the owner or operator shall institute a corrective action program under 7:14A-10.14; or

In deciding whether to require the owner or operator to institute a particular program, the Department shall consider the potential adverse effects on human health and the environment that might occur before final administrative action on a permit modification application to incorporate such a program could be taken.
