   (5) "Responsible party" means a person who, pursuant to this
section, requests the local officer to supervise remedial action with

agree to supervise the remedial action if he or she determines, based
on available information, that adequate staff resources and the
requisite technical expertise and capabilities are available to
adequately supervise the remedial action.
   (c) Remedial action carried out under this section shall be
carried out only pursuant to a remedial action agreement entered into

the contamination caused by the released waste that is the subject of
the remedial action, the remedial actions that will be taken, and

protect human health or safety or the environment, and that, if met,
constitute a permanent remedy to the release of the waste.
   (d) A local officer who enters into a remedial action agreement,
as described in subdivision (c), may, after giving the responsible
party adequate notice, withdraw from the agreement at any time after
making one of the following findings:
   (1) The responsible party is not in compliance with the remedial
action agreement.
   (2) Appropriate staff resources, technical expertise, or technical
capabilities are not available to adequately supervise the remedial
action.

action is of a sufficiently complex nature or may present such a
significant potential hazard to human health or the environment that
it should be referred to the Department of Toxic Substances Control
or a California regional water quality control board.
   (e) After determining that a responsible party has completed the
actions required by the remedial action agreement and that a
permanent remedy for the release of waste has been achieved, the
local officer may provide the responsible party with a letter or
other document that describes the release of waste that occurred and
the remedial action taken, and certifies that the cleanup goals
embodied in the remedial action agreement were accomplished.
