(a) Because groundwater protection and management is an underlying issue related to leaking underground storage tanks, information on the risks to groundwater resources will be needed to facilitate implementation of the regulations.
(b) The Delaware Geological Survey shall, under the auspices and direction of the Committee, and in cooperation with the Department, examine the need for prioritizing possible leak risks. The Survey may assist the Committee by identifying areas where existing or abandoned leaking underground storage tanks would pose the most significant risk.
