On page 2, line 5, after "(2)" insert "If fill material will be placed directly into waters of the state, the department shall require, in any water quality certification issued under section 401 of the federal clean water act, a baseline analysis of the quality of the waters of the state, both surface and ground, that may be affected by the placement of the fill material. If such an analysis concludes that water quality standards are not being met, the department shall not allow use of the leaching test specified in subsection (1) of this section to evaluate the suitability of potential fill material.
