§ 146.34 (3) Monitoring may be reported on a project or field basis rather than individual well basis where manifold monitoring is used (45 FR 42500. June 74, 1980, as amended m 46 FR 47163.

This section sets forth the in(onnmion which must be considered by the Director in authorizing Class III wells. Certain maps, cross srctions, mb~ ulations of wells within the area of review, and other data may be included in the application by reference provided They are curtem, readily avail- able to the Director (for example, in the pennming agency's files) and su(ficirnlly identified to be re- Irieved. In cases where EPA issues [he permit, all Ihr infommation in This section muss be submitted to the Adminisomor. (a) Pnor to the IsSmanCr of a permit (or an ex~ fisting Class III well or area to operate or the con- swction o(a new Class III well the Director shall consider the following: (I) In(ornation required in 40 CFR 14711 and 144.31(g): (?) A map showing the injection well or prgecl area (or which a permit is sought and the applica- ble area of review. Within the area of review, the map mull show the number or name and location of all existing producing wells, injection wells, abandoned wells, dry holes, public water systems and water wells. The map may also show surface bodies of waters, minrs (surface and subsurface), quamrs and other pertinent surface trainees in- cluding fC5ldrnCCS and roads, and faults d known or suspected. Only in(ortnation of public record and peninem in (ornation known to Ihr applicant is required to be included on Ihis map. (3) A tabulation a( data reasonably available from public records or otherwise known ro the ap- plicant on wells within the area of review Included on the map required under paragraph (a)(?) of Ihis section which penroale the proposed injection zone. Such data shall include a description of each well's type, constuction, dale drilled, location, depth, record of plugging and completion, and any additional Infonnatron the Director may rcqutrc. In cases where the mfonnmion would be repetitive and the wells are of similar age, type, and con- swction the Director may elect to only require dam on a representative number o(wells. (4) Maps and cross rections indicating the vent- ral limits of all underground sources of drinking wafer within the area of review, (heir position rel- ative to Ihr injection (ommtion, and the direction of water movement, where known, in every under- ground source of drinking water which may br a(- (ecmd by the proposed injection: (5) Maps and cross sections derailing the geo- logic structure o(Ihe local area: (6) Generalized map and cross sections illustrat- ing the regional geologic seeing; (7) Proposed operating data. (i) Average and maximum daily rate and voh time of Ouid to be injected; (ii) Average and maximum injection pressure; and (iii) Qualitative analysis and ranges in con- ttntrauons of all constituents of injected fluids. Thr applicant may request Federal confidentiality as specified in 40 CFR pan ?. If the information is proprietary an applicant may, in lieu of the ranges in concemmtions, choosy to submit maxi- mum concentrations which shall not be exceeded. In such a case the applicant shall retain records of the undisclosed concrnlralions and provide them upon request to the Director as pan of any en- forcement investigation. (B) Proposed (ortnalion testing program m ob- tain the in(omtmion required by § 146.32(c). (9) Proposed stimulation program; (10) Proposed injection procedure; (I I) schemmic or other appropnate drawings of the surface and subsurface construction derails of the well; (12) Plans (including maps) (or mraing the monitoring requirements of § 146.33(6); (13) Expected changes in pressure, native fluid displacement. direction of movement of injection Fluid; (14) Contingency plans to cope with all shut-ins or well failures so as Ira prevent the migration of contaminating fluids into underground sourms of drinking water: (IS) A certificate That Ihr applicant has assured, through a performance bond, or other appropnate means, the resources necessary to close, plug, ar abandon the well as required by 40 CFR 14d.52(a)(A and (16) The cortecli ve action proposed to be taken under 40 CFR 144 55. (b) Prior to granting approval (or the operation of a Class III well the Dirccmr shall consider Ihr following in(onnation: (I) All available logging and testing dam on the well; (''-1 A satisfactory demonstration of mechanical inteerity for all new wells and for all existing salt solution wells pursuant to § 146.08: (3) Thr anticipated maximum pressure and Ilow rate at which the permi«ee will operate; (4) The rcsuhs of the formation testing program; (5) Thr actual injection procedures, and (6) The smms of cortrcuve ac«on on dekaive wells in Ihr area of review IS
