Appendix to Section M.H. Application for a Containment Zone Designation The discharger is responsible for submitting an application for designation of a containment zone. Supporting information which is readily available to the Regional Water Board and which would be cumbersome or costly to reproduce can be included in the application by reference. In order to facilitate the preparation of an acceptable application the discharger may request that the Regional Water Board provide a preliminary review of a partial application The partial application should be detailed enough to allow the Regional Water Board to determine if the site passes the threshold criteria for establishment of a containment zone (e.g., it is not reasonable to achieve water quality obiectives at that site, plume management measures are likely to be effective etc ) As appropriate, the application shall include: al Background information (location site history. regulatory history): bj Site characterization information including a description of the nature and extent of the discharge. H drogeologic characterization must be adequate for making the determinations necessary for a_ containment zone designation: cl An inventory of all wells (including abandoned wells and exploratory boreholes) that could affect or be affected by the containment zone: A demonstration that it is not reasonable to achieve water quality obiectivm el A discussion of completed source removal and identification of any additional sources that will be addressed during implementation of the management plan; t� A discussion of the extent to which pollutant mass has been reduced in the aquifer and identification of any additional mass removal that will be addressed during implementation of the management plan; g� If necessary, information related to the availability of funds to implement the provisions of the management plan throughout the expected duration of the containment zone designation; The proposed boundaries for the proposed containment zone pursuant to Section III.H.3.a.; 1 An evaluation of potential impacts to water quality, human health and the environment pursuant to Sections III.H.3.b. and c.; i1 A statement that the discharger believes that the site is not located in a critical recharge area, as required by Section 11I.1-1.3.d.; k� Copies of maps and cross sections that clearly show the boundaries of the proposed containment zone and that show the locations where land use restrictions will apply. Maps must include at least four points of reference near the map comers Reference points must be identified by latitude and longitude (accurate to within 50 feet) as appropriate for possible inclusion in a geographic information system (GIS) database: and A management plan for review and approval The management plan must contain provisions for: source removal as appropriate; 21 pollutant mass removal from the aquifer as appropriate: 3� land use or engineering controls necessary to prevent the migration of pollution including the Proper abandonment of any wells within the vicinity of the containment zone that could provide a conduit for pollution migration beyond the containment zone boundary;
