Summary: The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) supports the proposed rule but advocates for stronger protections for groundwater, including more rigorous monitoring, clearer definitions for qualified hydrogeologists, and mandatory public review for setting alternative groundwater protection standards. They emphasize the need for adequate liners, timely corrective actions, and the protection of adjacent groundwater users from contamination.
