. (a) The regional board shall make at least one inspection

hazardous wastes containing free liquids into a surface impoundment
located within the jurisdiction of the regional board. Any person
discharging liquid hazardous wastes or hazardous wastes containing
free liquids into a surface impoundment who receives this notice from

the regional board makes the determination specified in subdivision
(g) of Section 25208.17.
(d) The regional board may exempt a person from submitting a
report specified in Section 25208.8 if the person has ceased
discharging into the surface impoundment, the person closed the
surface impoundment on or before December 31, 1985, with the approval
of the regional board and the department, and the board makes both
of the following findings:
(1) The report is not required to determine the extent to which
the hazardous waste constituents have migrated from the surface
impoundment.
(2) No hazardous waste constituents are present in the vadose zone
or the waters of the state beneath the surface impoundment in
concentrations which pollute the vadose zone or threaten to pollute
or pollute the waters of the state.
