How should ongoing sampling and reporting of existing monitoring wells be handled at sites where active remediation is taking place?
If the MPCA has approved active remediation at the site, all monitoring well sampling costs should be included in the active remediation proposals to be submitted to the Petrofund for review. There is one exception to this requirement. If contaminated soil excavation was performed as the approved corrective action at the site, and the only tasks left to perform at the site are sampling and reporting of existing monitoring wells, then the costs for the sampling and reporting services may be submitted on the consultant services change order form for the limited site investigation or full remedial investigation step of services.
