(A) No further action letter timing. For the purposes of this chapter and Chapter 3746. of the Revised Code, a no further action letter may be issued pursuant to this rule by a certified professional for a property under one or a combination of the following circumstances:
(1) After completion of a phase I property assessment conducted in accordance with rule 3745-300-06 of the Administrative Code, a certified professional determines that there is no information that establishes any reason to believe a release of hazardous substances or petroleum has or may have occurred at or upon a property.
(2) After completion of a phase I property assessment conducted in accordance with rule 3745-300-06 of the Administrative Code, a certified professional determines a release of hazardous substances or petroleum occurred on the property, and the release is demonstrated in writing to be within a de minimis or previously addressed area in accordance with paragraph (E)(2) of rule 3745-300-06 of the Administrative Code.
(3) After completion of a phase II property assessment conducted in accordance with rule 3745-300-07 of the Administrative Code, a certified professional determines the concentrations of chemicals of concern (COCs) pertaining to the property do not exceed the applicable standards.
(4) After completion of a phase II property assessment conducted in accordance with rule 3745-300-07 of the Administrative Code, a certified professional determines the concentrations of COCs pertaining to the property exceed the applicable standards but one or both of the following situations occurs:
(a) Those applicable standards are achieved through remedial activities.
(b) Those applicable standards shall be achieved in accordance with one of the following mechanisms:
(i) An operation and maintenance plan, if required under rule 3745-300-11 of the Administrative Code.
(ii) A consolidated standards permit issued under section 3746.15 of the Revised Code and any rules adopted thereunder.
(B) Volunteer provides supporting information to certified professional. In order to support a volunteer's request to a certified professional for a no further action letter to be issued by the certified professional, a volunteer, and other persons who perform work to support the issuance of the no further action letter, shall submit to a certified professional, by affidavit, all relevant investigatory and remedial information that pertains to the property. The information shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
(1) Information that demonstrates that there is no contamination by hazardous substances or petroleum of soil, sediments, surface water, or ground water released on or from the property that exceeds applicable standards. Each demonstration shall be based upon the findings of a phase I property assessment in accordance with rule 3745-300-06 of the Administrative Code or a phase II property assessment in accordance with rule 3745-300-07 of the Administrative Code.
(2) Information that demonstrates compliance with rule 3745-300-02 of the Administrative Code regarding the eligibility of the property to participate in the voluntary action program.
(3) If remedial activities were conducted in connection with a voluntary action, data that demonstrates that any or all remedies meet or shall meet applicable standards in accordance with paragraph (E) of rule 3745-300-11 of the Administrative Code.
(4) For any no further action letter that is not to be submitted to Ohio EPA for a covenant not to sue, the institutional controls needed to restrict the use of the property to comply with applicable standards include a demonstration that all institutional controls for the property are established. The demonstration shall consist of a deed or declaration of the institutional controls that are recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the property is located, or are entered as a memorial in the appropriate register for "registered land" as defined in section 5309.01 of the Revised Code, in compliance with section 3746.14 of the Revised Code. This requirement shall not apply to any no further action letter submitted to Ohio EPA with a request for a covenant not to sue, as provided by paragraphs (B)(5) and (E)(8)(e) of this rule.
(5) For any no further action letter that is to be submitted to Ohio EPA for a covenant not to sue, the activity and use limitations needed to comply with applicable standards include a demonstration that the activity and use limitations were developed in accordance with this chapter and are in a proposed environmental covenant that complies with section 5301.82 of the Revised Code. This requirement applies when the volunteer intends to request from the director a covenant not to sue, or when the volunteer does not intend to request a covenant not to sue but Ohio EPA is obligated to review the no further action letter pursuant to division (C) of section 122.654 of the Revised Code.
(6) An operation and maintenance plan and a proposed operation and maintenance agreement, for the remedies that require such documents in accordance with rule 3745-300-11 of the Administrative Code.

(C) Prohibition on withholding information. A person, with the purpose to deceive a certified professional, certified laboratory, accredited laboratory, or a contractor thereof, or Ohio EPA or a contractor thereof, may not withhold, conceal, or destroy any data, information, records, or documents relating to a voluntary action.
(D) Certified professional review of information. After receipt of the information that is required to be submitted by a volunteer under paragraph (B) of this rule, a certified professional shall do the following:

(2) Ensure that the information is reviewed by persons with experience and competence in areas other than that of the certified professional, as necessary for the issuance of the no further action letter.
(3) Verify the data to ensure that the data supports the issuance of the no further action letter.
(4) Determine that the property meets all eligibility requirements in accordance with rule 3745-300-02 of the Administrative Code.
(5) Based on evaluation of the phase I property assessment, complete the following tasks:
(a) The certified professional shall use best professional judgment to decide which requirements in paragraphs (C) and (E) of rule 3745-300-06 of the Administrative Code shall be re-evaluated to determine whether or not phase II property assessment is required.
(b) If any requirements in paragraphs (C) and (E) of rule 3745-300-06 of the Administrative Code require re-evaluation, documentation of the additional information gathered to comply with this paragraph shall be included in an updated phase I property assessment report.
(6) The following activities shall be performed or completed within one hundred eighty days prior to the issuance of the no further action letter:

(7) If, in the best professional judgment of the certified professional, no change in environmental conditions at the property has occurred since the requirements in paragraphs (C) and (E) of rule 3745-300-06 of the Administrative Code were performed, such requirements need not be repeated within one hundred-eighty days prior to the issuance of the no further action letter. For purposes of this rule, a change in environmental conditions means new information about known or suspected releases to environmental media that results in one or both of the following:
(a) Additional identified areas at the property that are subject to phase II property assessment.
(b) Previously identified areas at the property that need further phase II property assessment due to the new information.
(E) No further action letter preparation and issuance. After performing a review of documents and completion of other activities in accordance with paragraph (D) of this rule, if the certified professional concludes on the basis of best available knowledge, information, and belief that a property meets or shall meet applicable standards, a certified professional may prepare a no further action letter for the property. For any no further action letter prepared, the certified professional shall prepare the no further action letter in the format prescribed by Ohio EPA, and electronic copies of the document shall be indexed appropriately in a format prescribed by Ohio EPA. At a minimum, the no further action letter shall include the following information:

[Comment: In this rule, when "prescribed by Ohio EPA" is used, information about the format and submittal requirements are available on the voluntary action program's web site.]

(d) Provide a description of all COCs identified in the environmental media on or from the property, the source of the COCs, if known, and the locations and concentration levels of the COCs prior to any remediation.
