Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(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.
