144.31(8);
(?) A map showing the injection well(s) (or
which a permit is sought and the applicable area
of review. Within the area of review, the map
must show the number, or name, and lacalion of
all producing wells, dry holes, surface bodies of
water, spnngs, mines (surface and subsurface),
yuamies, wafer wells and other pertinent surface
features including residences and roads. The map
should also show (cults, if known or suspected
Only information of public record is required to be
included on This map;
(3) A mbulalion of data on all wells within the
area of review which penetmle into thr proposed
injection zone. Such data shall include a desenp-
tion of each well's type, construction, dine drilled,
location. depth, record of plugging and/or comple-
tion, and any additional infomtmion the Director
may require;
(4) Maps and cross sections indicating the gen-
eral vertical and lamral limits of all underground
sources of drinking water within the area of rc-
eiew, their position relative to the injection forma-
tion and the direction of water movrment. where
known, in each underground source of drinking
water which may he a(kcted by thr proposed in-
jection;
(5) Maps and cross sections detailing the geo-
logic structure of the local area:
(6) Generalized maps and cross sections illus-
nmmg the regional geologic setting;
17) Proposed operating data:
(il Average and maximum daily rate and val-
ume of the fluid to be m)ected;
(iq Average and maximum injection pressure;
and
(ii0 Source and an analysis of the chemicah
physicah radiological and biological characteristics
of injection Quids;
B) Proposed formation Testing program to ob-
tinn an analysis of the chemicah physical and radi-
ological characteristics of and other in(ormmion on
tht recaving (onnation;
(9) Proposed stimulation program;
(10) Proposed injection procedure,
(11) Schematic or other appropriate drawings of
the surface and subsurface construction details of
the well.
(12) Comingency plans m cope with all shut-ins
or well failures so as to prevent ntigmtion of
Quids into any underground source of drinking
water;
(li) Plans (including maps) (or meeting the

mrnung and casing program, logging procedures,
deviation checks, and a drilling, testing, and coring
program; and
(16) A certificate that the applicant has assured,
Through a performance bond or other appropriate
means, The resources necessary to close, plug or

(b) Pnor to granting approval (or the operation
a(a Class I well the Director shall consider the
following information.
(U All available lugging and testing program
data on the well;
(?) A demonstration of mechanical integrity
pursuant to § 146.8;
(3) The amicipated maximum pressure and flow
rate at which the permittte will operate;
(4) The results of the formation testing program:
(5) The actual injection procedure:
(6) The compaubdity of injected waste with
fluids in the in)tction zone and minerals in both
the in)ection zone and The confining zone; and
(7) The status of cortecliee action on defective
wells in the area of review.
(c) Riot to granting approval for the plugging
and abandonment of a Class 1 well the Director
shall consider the following in(omtmion:
(I) The Type and number of plugs to be used:
(2) The placement of each plug including the
elevation of the top and bottom;
(3) The Type and grade and quantity of cemtnl
