Subpart 1. Small quantities of petroleum contaminated soil. For petroleum contaminated soil in volumes less than ten cubic yards, the commissioner shall exempt generators and owners and operators from the requirement to comply with parts of this chapter if the commissioner finds that compliance with the part is not needed to protect human health and the environment. In determining whether to grant the exemption, the commissioner shall consider the actual or potential level of contamination; soil volume; proposed treatment; proposed treatment location; and the potential for presence of PCBs, halogens, metals, and other contaminants in the petroleum contaminated soil.
