   1. (i) the groundwater standard contravention is the result of an on-site source which is addressed by the remedial program;
   2. (ii) an environmental easement will be put in place which provides for a groundwater use restriction on the site as set forth in section 375-1.8(h)(2) of this Part;

   3. (iii) the department determines that contaminated groundwater at the site:

      1. (a) is not migrating, or likely to migrate, off-site; or
