g) For used oil, the indicator contaminants must be determined by the results of a used oil soil sample analysis. In accordance with Section 734.210(h) of this Part, soil samples must be collected from the walls and floor of the used oil UST excavation if the UST is removed, or from borings drilled along each side of the used oil UST if the UST remains in place. The sample that appears to be the most contaminated as a result of a release from the used oil UST must then be analyzed for the following parameters. If none of the samples appear to be contaminated, a soil sample must be collected from the floor of the used oil UST excavation below the former location of the UST if the UST is removed, or from soil located at the same elevation as the bottom of the used oil UST if the UST remains in place, and analyzed for the following parameters:
i) An owner or operator exempt from having to address MTBE as an indicator contaminant pursuant to subsection (h) of this Section may elect to include MTBE as an indicator contaminant under the circumstances listed in subsections (1) or (2) of this subsection (i).

The election must be effective upon the Agency's receipt of the notification and cannot be withdrawn once made. Owners or operators electing to include MTBE as an indicator contaminant must remediate MTBE contamination in accordance with the requirements of this Part.
