NR 716.14 Note Note: Notification of sampling results is intended for those samples taken from a property including results from both routine and long-term monitoring and those of a more immediate health or welfare concern to a property owner, or occupant as appropriate. Examples of sampling to determine the presence of an immediate public health or welfare concern are from potable wells, indoor air, surface soil, and soil vapor beneath an occupied structure. "All sampling results" means the results that show detections of contaminants as well as those that do not show detections.
NR 716.14 Note Note: Assistance in evaluating the impact and meaning of the sample results may be requested of the department project manager or drinking water staff, or from staff with the Division of Public Health, with the Department of Health Services.
NR 716.14 Note Note: The notification to occupants is not intended for situations where there are multiple units or a frequent change in occupancy.
NR 716.14 Note Note: The form on which to provide sample results, “Sample Results Notification," Form 4400-249, can be found at http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Brownfields/Pubs.html.
NR 716.14(3) (3)The department may approve of a different notification schedule on a case-by-case basis.
NR 716.14 Note Note: In cases where routine monitoring is conducted, and where results are not expected to be of immediate health or welfare concern, the department may consider other schedules, such as quarterly or with the semi-annual status reports to be sufficient.
NR 716.14(4) (4)The responsible party shall take the actions necessary to ensure any new occupants are also informed of the pertinent information required under s. NR 716.14 (2) (c).
