N.J. Admin. Code § 7:14A-8.17 - Additional requirements for applications for individual UIC permits
(a) In addition to
the information required to be submitted pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-4 and 8.8,
and after consultation with the Department, an applicant for an individual
NJPDES UIC permit for a Class I, II, III or V well shall submit those items in
(a)1 through 5 below as required by the Department.
1. For a permit for an existing Class I, II,
III and V well to operate or the construction or conversion of a new Class I,
II, III and V well:
i. A map showing the
injection well(s) for which a permit is sought and the applicable area of
review, determined as per
7:14A-8.12(a).
Within the area of review, the map shall show the number, or name, and location
of all producing wells, injection wells, abandoned wells, dry holes, or wells,
surface bodies of water, springs, mines (surface and subsurface), quarries,
water wells and other pertinent surface features including residences and
roads. All wells, reservoirs, and other bodies of water used for public water
supply that are within a five mile radius of the injection well shall be
indicated. The map shall also show geologic faults, if known or
suspected;
ii. A tabulation of data
on all wells within the area of review which penetrate into the proposed
injection zone. Such data shall include a description of each well's type,
geological and geophysical logs, construction, date drilled, location, depth,
record of plugging and/or completion, and any additional information the
Department may require;
iii.
Geologic name(s), maps, and cross sections indicating the general vertical and
lateral limits of all underground sources of drinking water within the area of
review, their position relative to the injection formation and the direction of
water movement, where known, in each underground source of drinking water which
may be affected by the proposed injection;
iv. Maps and cross sections detailing the
geological structure of the local area;
v. Generalized maps and cross section
illustrating the regional geologic setting;
vi. Proposed operating data as follows:
(1) Average and maximum daily rate and volume
of the fluid to be injected;
(2)
Average and maximum injection pressure; and
(3) Source and analysis of the chemical,
physical, radiological and biological characteristics of injection
fluids;
vii. Proposed
formation testing program to obtain an analysis of the chemical, physical, and
radiological characteristics of and other information on the receiving
formation;
viii. Proposed
stimulation program;
ix. Proposed
injection procedure;
x. Engineering
drawings of the surface and subsurface construction details of the
system;
xi. Any expected changes in
pressure, native fluid displacement, direction of movement of injection
fluid;
xii. Contingency plans to
address all shut-ins or well failures so as to prevent migration of fluids into
any underground source of drinking water;
xiii. Plans (including maps) for meeting the
monitoring requirements for Class I, II and III wells as specified in this
section;
xiv. For wells within the
area of review which penetrate the injection zone but are not properly
completed or plugged, the corrective action proposed to be taken under
7:14A-8.11; and
xv. Construction procedures including a
cementing and casing program, logging procedures, deviation checks, and a
drilling, testing, and coring program.
2. For the approval of operation of a Class
I, II, III and V well:
i. All available
logging and testing program data on the well(s);
ii. A demonstration of mechanical integrity
pursuant to
7:14A-8.12(c);
iii. The actual operating data;
iv. The results of the formation testing
program;
v. The actual injection
procedure;
vi. The compatibility of
injected waste with fluids in the injection zone and minerals in both the
injection zone and the confining zone; and
vii. The status of corrective or preventive
action on defective wells in the area of review.
3. For the approval of the plugging and
abandonment of a Class I, II, III and V well or of a plan for same:
i. The type and number of plugs to be
used;
ii. The placement of each
plug including the elevation of the top and bottom;
iii. The type and grade and quantity of
cement to be used;
iv. The method
for placement of the plugs; and
v.
The procedures to be used to meet the requirements of
7:14A-8.12(d)3.
4. For Class I, II and III wells,
the corrective or preventive action proposed to be taken under N.J.A.C. 7:14A-
8.11.
5. For Class V wells which
are subsurface disposal systems, other than those regulated under the Standards
for Individual Subsurface Sewage Disposal Systems, N.J.A.C. 7:9A, the
information set forth at
7:14A-7.13.
