The department, in consultation with the department of health, is thus directed to develop and publish a strategy to address the long-term remediation of groundwater contamination, including strategies to protect groundwater from future degradation from contaminated sites. Such strategy shall govern all programs within the department responsible for groundwater protection and remediation.
