Cal. Civ. Code § 410-38-2-9
"Contamination" or "contaminant" defined
Operative Text
Sec. 9. "Contamination" or "contaminant" has the meaning set forth at IC 13-11-2-42.
Section 410-38-2-9 of Indiana's administrative code establishes that the terms 'contamination' and 'contaminant,' as used in 410 IAC 38, carry the same meaning defined in Indiana Code IC 13-11-2-42. This is a definitional provision, meaning it does not impose new obligations on its own but anchors the interpretation of these terms throughout the broader regulatory framework. Understanding this cross-referenced definition is essential for correctly reading any rule in 410 IAC 38 that involves contamination-related standards or requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under 410 IAC 38 should be aware that whenever the regulation references 'contamination' or 'contaminant,' those terms are defined by reference to IC 13-11-2-42 as specified in Section 410-38-2-9. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with that statutory definition to ensure they correctly identify what substances or conditions trigger their obligations under the broader rule. Reviewing both the cross-referenced statute and the full text of 410 IAC 38 together helps ensure that compliance efforts are grounded in the correct legal definitions.
