1192.03 REGULATED SUBSTANCES.

   (a)   Regulated Substances.

      (1)   Defined. Regulated Substances shall be those substances listed in Subsection 1192.10( a)(1) herein when storage or use at a facility at any time of the year meets or exceeds those thresholds specified in Subsection 1192.10 (a)(2). A Facility Operator may, at their choice, calculate the quantity of Regulated Substances stored or used on site as follows:

         A.   Maximum amount at any one time. The Facility Operator may report the quantity of Regulated Substances stored or otherwise used on site as the maximum amount found on site at any one time during the course of a year. Where there are seasonal fluctuations in Regulated Substance use, the amount should be based on storage or use of Regulated Substances during peak times of the year; or

         B.   Monthly daily average. The Facility Operator may calculate the daily average of Regulated Substance storage or use on site over the course of a month. The Facility Operator must calculate this average using the anticipated quantity of Regulated Substances storage or use during peak months at the facility.

   (b)   Exemptions from the Regulated Substance Listing.

      (1)   A substance listed in Subsection 1192.10(a)(1) may be partially or fully exempt from regulation under this Chapter if use or storage of the Regulated Substance is exempted under Subsections 1192.02(e)(2) or (3) of this Chapter, or if the Facility Operator can provide proper documentation to the Development Services Director or Designee that a Regulated Substance does not present a threat to groundwater due to the nature of the substance. Information from the substance manufacturer or other qualified, verifiable source indicating that the substance does not present a threat to groundwater shall be considered proper documentation.

      (1)   The Development Services Director or Designee reserves the right to designate additional substances or remove substances from the list of Regulated Substances in Subsection 1192.10(a)(1) as necessary for the protection of the groundwater resource.
