					 purchased from a supplier;
(iii)
					 The point of diversion of surface water; and
(E) The anticipated disposal method that will
					 be used for the recovered water in the flowback fluid from the treatment that
					 is not produced water that would be reported pursuant to Section
					 3227;

					 anticipated that radiological components or tracers will be injected during the
					 well stimulation treatment;
