:W I other sectionsof the law, but which UST systems arefound to be located within 1000 feet of a well, will be notified pursuant to section 25289, 9, subdivision (b) and will be required to conduct testing within 18 months of notification. ELD means a test method that ascertains theintegrity of an UST system. Therefore, regardless of the UST system type (i.e., singie-walled, double -walled, or hybrid 3), the entire UST system (single -walled and doubie-walled) must be tested to fulfill the requirement. What is the process for implementing ELD? As described below, several groups are responsible for various aspects of the process for ELD implementation: SWRCB UST Program Responsibilility: The SWRCB UST Program is responsible for notifying owners/operators of UST systems within 1,000 feet of a public drinking water well that they are subject to the requirements Of ELD.-[Health & Saf. Code,, § 25292.4, subds. (a) and (b) §25292.5, subd. (b); §252 - 89, . subd. _(b); Cal. Code Regs., Tit le ' :23, § 2640, subd. (e)] The SWRCB UST Program is also responsible for considering requests for reconsideration from those UST owners/operators who believe their facility is not subject to LD. [bal. Code Regs., Title 23, §, 2640, subd. (e)(2)] (See below for additional information on requests for reconsideration.) Owner/Operator Responsibility: Owners/operators of UST systems that meet the criteria for ELD must complete the following steps: • ELD Program Plan ApDroval: Have a written program of ELD (testing program plan) reviewed and approved by the local agency within six (6) months following notification by the SWRCB UST Program. [Cal. Code Regs., Title 23, § 2644.1, subd. (a)(3)], • ELD Test Implementation: Implement the approved program of ELD (testing program plan) at their facility. • For UST systems with a single -walled component, ELD testing must be performed within 18 months following receipt pt of notification from the SWRCB UST Program and repeated every 36 months. [Cal. Code Regs. Title 23, § .2644.1, subd. (a) (3)] • For UST systems without a single -walled component, upon written request by the SW RCB, one ELD test must be performed within 18 months from the date of, notification. [See Health & Saf. Code, § 25289(b).] • ELD Test Notification: Notify the local agency at least 48 hours prior to conducting the ELD test unless this notification requirement is waived by the local agency. [1d., § 2644.1,subd. (a)(4)] • ELD Test Result Submittal: Submit the results of the ELD test to the SWRCB USTProgram and the local agency within 60 days after the test has been performed. [1d., § 2644.1, subd. (a)(5)] 3 A hybrid UST system refers to a UST system comprised of both single -walled and double -walled components. Because they contain a single -walled component, hybrid UST systems that are subject to ELD must be tested within 18 months of notification and every three years thereafter, unless all regulated single -walled components are upgraded to double -walled.
