• BIt must be mailed to EPA within 10 days
• CIt must be filed with the state fire marshal

Why the other answers are wrong

• It must be signed by the technician who first found the leak — The rule calls for an authorized company official, not the technician.
• It must be mailed to EPA within 10 days — The plan is kept on site and shown to EPA on request, not mailed within 10 days.
• It must be filed with the state fire marshal — No filing with a fire marshal is required by this rule.
