(d) no further corrective action is reasonably required at the site.
(3) The boundary of a petroleum mixing zone established in accordance with this section must be contained within the boundary of the property on which the petroleum release originated unless a recorded easement, a restrictive covenant, or another institutional control approved by the department on an adjoining property allows the petroleum mixing zone to extend onto the adjoining property.
(4) Monitoring of a petroleum mixing zone may not be required unless there is a unique, overriding, site-specific, impact-related reason to require monitoring.
