Summary: The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) opposes several aspects of the proposed rule, arguing that the new flexibilities for "equivalency" determinations, alternative points of compliance, and closure methods may delay the detection of contamination and fail to adequately protect adjacent groundwater users. They advocate for more stringent, site-specific requirements, including mandatory risk assessments, public review processes for setting standards, and the maintenance of current performance-based closure regulations.
