2. For sites that have been included on the department database, a local governmental unit, economic development corporation or other party may request that the department modify a site or property or information on the department database. For these cases, modification to the department database may not be considered by the department until proof of payment of the required fees has been received by the department's bureau for remediation and redevelopment.

1. The geographic position of the property on which a response action was taken, as well as for any other properties affected by the release, in accordance with the requirements of s. NR 716.15(5) (d).

2. A description of the response actions taken at the site or facility.

3. A copy of any required maintenance plan if a continuing obligation is required as part of the response action.

4. For sites or facilities with a cover or other performance standard, a structural impediment, a vapor mitigation system or a fence, or as otherwise required by the department on a case-by-case basis; one or more photographs documenting the condition and extent of the feature at the conclusion of the response action required. Pertinent features shall be visible and discernible. Photographs shall be submitted with a title related to the site name and location, and the date on which it was taken.

5. A copy of the most recent deed which includes the legal description of each property, except that, in situations where a buyer has purchased property under a land contract and has not yet received a deed, a copy of the land contract which includes the legal description shall be submitted.

Note: Copies of deeds, or other documents with legal descriptions, are not required to be submitted for contaminated public-street or highway rights-of-way or railroad rights-of-way. It is only in the situation where the source of the contamination is in the right-of-way, that a right-of-way will be listed on the department database as a separate property.

6. A copy of the certified survey map or the relevant portion of the recorded plat map for those properties where the legal description in the most recent deed or land contract refers to a certified survey map or a recorded plat map. In cases where the certified survey map or recorded plat map are not legible or are unavailable, a copy of a parcel map from a county land information office may be substituted. A copy of a parcel map from a county land information office shall be legible, and the parcels identified in the legal description shall be clearly identified and labeled with the applicable parcel identification number.

7. The parcel identification number or numbers for each property.

8. A statement that the deeds with legal descriptions of all affected properties have been submitted.

9. A site location map that outlines each property within or partially within the contaminated site boundaries on a United States geographic survey topographical map or plat map in sufficient detail to permit the parcels to be located easily. This map shall identify the location of all municipal and potable wells within 1200 feet of the site. If there is only one parcel, this map may be combined with the map required in subd. 10.

10. If available, a map of each property within or partially within the contaminated site boundaries, showing buildings, roads, property boundaries, contaminant sources, utility lines, monitoring wells, and potable wells. This map shall also show the location of all contaminated public-street and highway rights-of-way and railroad rights-of-way in relation to the source property and in relation to the boundaries of contamination exceeding applicable standards.
