- (a) The Regional Administrator will specify in the facility permit the point of compliance at which the ground-water protection standard of [§ 264.92](/cfr/40/264.92.md) applies and at which monitoring must be conducted. The point of compliance is a vertical surface located at the hydraulically downgradient limit of the waste management area that extends down into the uppermost aquifer underlying the regulated units.
- (b) The waste management area is the limit projected in the horizontal plane of the area on which waste will be placed during the active life of a regulated unit.
  - (1) The waste management area includes horizontal space taken up by any liner, dike, or other barrier designed to contain waste in a regulated unit.
  - (2) If the facility contains more than one regulated unit, the waste management area is described by an imaginary line circumscribing the several regulated units.
