underground storage tank system that is located within 1,000 feet of
a public drinking water well, as identified pursuant to the state GIS

program required by subdivision (a). In adopting these regulations,
the board shall consider existing leak detection technology and
external monitoring techniques or procedures for underground storage
tanks.
(d) If the results of the enhanced leak detection test indicate
that any component of the underground storage tank system is leaking
liquid or vapor, the owner or operator shall take appropriate actions
to correct the leakage, and the owner or operator shall retest the
system using enhanced leak detection until the system is no longer
leaking liquid or vapor.
