Provide for release detection; d. Provide written spill response and spill notification procedures to the local fire district; e. Use material in the construction or lining of the storage containment area which is compatible with the substance to be storage to protect against corrosion or leakage, or othenryise designed in a manner to prevent the release or threatened release of any storage substance; andf. Comply with chapters 173-303 and 173-360 WAC. g. The tanks must comply with Ecology regulations contained in WAC Chapters 173-360 and 173-303 as well as lnternational Building Code requirements. 4.

The use of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, or other chemical for vegetation management within critical aquifer recharge areas shall adhere to the best management practices to prevent impacts to water quality and water supply. Where the application of such chemicals covers five (5) or more acres, a mitigation plan shall be required pursuant the regulations listed below. 6. The following uses and development activities, when proposed in medium or high susceptibility critical aquifer recharge areas, have the potential to adversely affect ground water quality and/or quantity and may only be allowed subject to the County's review and approval of a special hydrogeological assessment prepared by a qualifi ed professional: a. Vehicle repair, servicing, and salvaging facilities, provided that the facility must be conducted over impermeable pads and within a covered structure capable of withstanding normally expected weather conditions. Chemicals used in the process of vehicle repair and servicing must be stored in a manner that protects them from weather and provides containment should leaks occur. Dry wells shall not be allowed on sites used for vehicle repair and servicing. Dry wells existing on the site prior to facility establishment must be abandoned using techniques approved by the Washington State Department of Ecology prior to Chapter 5 March 7, 2016 86
