The Standard Monitoring Plan was approved by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation on November 3, 2008. In failing to follow the approved Standard Monitoring Plan the System also failed to complete the required standard monitoring by September 30, 2009 in accordance with Title 40 C.F.R. § 141.600 and 40 C.F.R. § 141.601.
