However, the board may approve a groundwater discharge plan with a water quality variance for an accidental leak or spill if it has been shown by either study or practice that all reasonable other alternatives for groundwater cleanup will not result in further removal of contaminant concentrations from the groundwater.</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 14 SDR 86, effective December 24, 1987; 18 SDR 128, effective February 11, 1992; transferred from §&nbsp;74:03:16:03, July 1, 1996.</font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-2-28">34A-2-28.</A></font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-2-21">34A-2-21</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-2-22">34A-2-22</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=34A-2-28">34A-2-28.</A></font></p> <p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p> </div> </body> </html>
