The discharge shall not cause any increase in the concentration of waste constituents in soil- <br /> pore gas, soil-pore liquid, soil, or other geologic materials outside of the waste management <br /> unit if such waste constituents could migrate to waters of the State—in either dhe liquid or the <br /> gaseous phase—and cause a condition of contamination, pollution, degradation,or <br /> nuisance. <br /> 4. The discharge shall not cause the release of pollutants, or waste constituents in a manner which <br /> could cause a condition of contamination, pollution, degradation, or nuisance to occur,as <br /> indicated by the most appropriate statistical or non-statistical data analysis method and retest <br /> method listed in the Monitoring and Reporting Program. <br /> 5. The discharger shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse impact to the waters <br /> of the state resulting from noncompliance with this Order.
