Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A. During the
				  drilling and construction of a Class VI injection well, the owner or operator
				  must run appropriate logs, surveys and tests to determine or verify the depth,
				  thickness, porosity, permeability, and lithology of, and the salinity of any
				  formation fluids in all relevant geologic formations to ensure conformance with
				  the injection well construction requirements under R18-9-J661 and to establish
				  accurate baseline data against which future measurements may be compared. The
				  owner or operator must submit to the Director a descriptive report prepared by
				  a knowledgeable log analyst that includes an interpretation of the results of
				  such logs and tests. At a minimum, such logs and tests must include:
1. Deviation checks during drilling on all
				  holes constructed by drilling a pilot hole which is enlarged by reaming or
				  another method. Such checks must be at sufficiently frequent intervals to
				  determine the location of the borehole and to ensure that vertical avenues for
				  fluid movement in the form of diverging holes are not created during drilling;
				  and
2. Before and upon installation
				  of the surface casing:
a. Resistivity,
				  spontaneous potential, and caliper logs before the casing is installed;
				  and
b. A cement bond and variable
				  density log to evaluate cement quality radially, and a temperature log after
				  the casing is set and cemented.
3. Before and upon installation of the long
				  string casing:
a. Resistivity, spontaneous
				  potential, porosity, caliper, gamma ray, fracture finder logs, and any other
				  logs the Director requires for the given geology before the casing is
				  installed; and
b. A cement bond and
				  variable density log, and a temperature log after the casing is set and
				  cemented.
4. A series of
				  tests designed to demonstrate the internal and external mechanical integrity of
				  injection wells, which may include:
a. A
				  pressure test with liquid or gas;
b. A tracer survey such as oxygen-activation
				  logging;
c. A temperature or noise
				  log;
d. A casing inspection log;
				  and
5. Any alternative
				  methods that provide equivalent or better information and that are required by
				  and/or approved of by the Director.

Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A. Except
				  during stimulation, the owner or operator must ensure that injection pressure
				  does not exceed 90 percent of the fracture pressure of the injection zone or
				  zones so as to ensure that the injection does not initiate new fractures or
				  propagate existing fractures in the injection zone or zones. In no case may
				  injection pressure initiate fractures in the confining zone or zones or cause
				  the movement of injection or formation fluids that endangers a USDW. Pursuant
				  to requirements at R18-9-J657(B)(9), all stimulation programs must be approved
				  by the Director as part of the permit application and incorporated into the
				  permit.
B. Injection between the
				  outermost casing protecting USDWs and the well bore is prohibited.
C. The owner or operator must fill the
				  annulus between the tubing and the long string casing with a non-corrosive
				  fluid approved by the Director. The owner or operator must maintain on the
				  annulus a pressure that exceeds the operating injection pressure, unless the
				  Director determines that such requirement might harm the integrity of the well
				  or endanger USDWs.
D. Other than
				  during periods of well workover (maintenance) approved by the Director in which
				  the sealed tubing-casing annulus is disassembled for maintenance or corrective
				  procedures, the owner or operator must maintain mechanical integrity of the
				  injection well at all times.
E. The
				  owner or operator must install and use:
1.
				  Continuous recording devices to monitor: The injection pressure; the rate,
				  volume and/or mass, and temperature of the carbon dioxide stream; and the
				  pressure on the annulus between the tubing and the long string casing and
				  annulus fluid volume; and
2. Alarms
				  and automatic surface shut-off systems or, at the discretion of the Director,
				  down-hole shut-off systems for onshore wells or, other mechanical devices that
				  provide equivalent protection.

				  workovers as defined in R18-9-J663, of continuous recording devices to monitor
				  injection pressure, rate, and volume; the pressure on the annulus between the
				  tubing and the long string casing; and the annulus fluid volume
				  added;
3. Corrosion monitoring of
				  the well materials for loss of mass, thickness, cracking, pitting, and other
				  signs of corrosion, which must be performed on a quarterly basis to ensure that
				  the well components meet the minimum standards for material strength and
				  performance set forth in R18-9-J661, by:
a.
				  Analyzing coupons of the well construction materials placed in contact with the

				  originating from the residence is used and contained within the property
				  boundary for household gardening, composting, or landscape watering;
2. Human contact with gray water and soil
				  watered by gray water is avoided;
3. Surface application of gray water is not
				  used for watering of food plants, except for trees and shrubs which have an
				  edible portion that does not come into contact with the gray water;
4. The gray water does not contain hazardous
				  chemicals derived from activities such as cleaning car parts, washing greasy or
				  oily rags, or disposing of waste solutions from hobbyist or home occupational
				  activities;
5. The gray water does
				  not contain water used to wash diapers or similarly soiled or infectious
				  garments;
6. The application of gray water is managed to
				  minimize standing water on the surface by using measures such as avoiding
				  overwatering, distributing the gray water beneath a mulch or other cover, and
				  using best practices to improve soil condition and increase
				  filtration;
7. If blockage, backup, or overload of the system
				  occurs, gray water distribution shall cease until the deficiency is corrected.
				  The gray water system may include components to reduce blockage and backup and
				  be operated using best practices to extend system lifetime;
8.
				  Gray water surge tanks, if any, are covered to restrict access and to eliminate
				  habitat for mosquitoes or other vectors, and holding time is minimized to avoid
				  development of anaerobic conditions and odors;
9. The gray water
				  system is sited outside of a floodway;
10.The gray water
				  system is operated to maintain a minimum vertical separation distance of at
				  least five feet from the point of gray water application to the top of the
				  seasonally high groundwater table;
11.For a residence
				  using an on-site wastewater treatment facility for black water treatment and
				  disposal, the use of a gray water system does not change the design, capacity,
				  or reserve area requirements for the on-site wastewater treatment facility at
				  the residence, and ensures the facility can handle the combined black water and
				  gray water flow;
12. Any pressure piping used in a gray water system
				  that may be susceptible to cross connection with a potable water system clearly
				  indicates the piping does not carry potable water; and
13. Surface application of gray water is only
				  by flood or drip distribution methods. Flood distribution methods may include
				  containment by horticultural mulch basins and swales.
