The University of Arizona -
Page Ranch site is currently in a state of non-compliance with 40 CFR Part
265 Subpart F and ACRR R9-8-1821 .A.2 As stated in item #6 of my last letter
to you (January 12, 1983; HW 1372), these requirements must be addressed,
either by submittal of a plan describing the installation of a groundwater
monitoring system, or by the submittal of a certified demonstration which
states the reasons why the requirements for monitoring should be waived,
and addresses all items contained in 40 CFR 265.90(c). Your groundwater
monitoring submittal of March 7, 1983 alludes to the choice of the waiver
demonstration to fufill these requirements, and mentions a request which
has already been made to a certified University geologist to preare(sic)

submitted to the Bureau of Waste Control no later than April 22, 1983.
