Public participation

1. For each confirmed release that requires a corrective action plan, the department must provide notice to the public by means designed to reach those members of the public directly affected by the release and the planned corrective action. This notice may include, but is not limited to, public announcements, publication in a state register, letters to individual households, or personal contacts by field staff. 2. The department must ensure that site release information and decisions concerning the corrective action plan are made available to the public for inspection upon request. 3. Before approving a corrective action plan, the department may hold a public meeting to consider comments on the proposed corrective action plan if there is sufficient public interest, or for any other reason. 4. The department must give public notice that complies with subsection 1 if implementation of an approved corrective action plan does not achieve the established cleanup levels in the plan and termination of that plan is under consideration by the department.
