New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Chapter 14A - NEW JERSEY POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM › Subchapter 8 - ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL (UIC) PROGRAM › Section 7:14A-8.11 - Corrective or preventive action

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Applicants for
				Class I, II or III injection well permits, or for any Class IV well allowed
				under 7:14A-8.7, shall identify the
				location of all known wells within the injection well's area of review as
				specified in
				7:14A-8.12 which penetrate the
				injection zone. For wells which are improperly sealed, completed, or abandoned,
				the applicant shall submit a plan consisting of such steps or modifications as
				are necessary to prevent movement of fluid into underground sources of drinking
				water ("corrective or preventive action"). Where the plan is adequate, the
				Department shall incorporate it into the permit as a condition. Where the
				Department determines that the permittee's plan is inadequate pursuant to
				7:14A-8.12(b), the
				Department shall:
1. Require the applicant to
				revise the plan;
2. Prescribe a
				plan for corrective or preventive action as a condition of the permit;
				or
3. Deny the
				application.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The area of
				review for each injection well or each field, project or area of the State
				shall be determined according to either (a)1 or 2 below. The Department
				strongly encourages owners and operators of injection wells to provide the
				Department with data concerning which method is most appropriate for each
				geographic area or field.
1. The zone of
				endangering influence shall be that area, the radius of which is the lateral
				distance from an injection well, field or project, in which the pressures in
				the injection zone may cause the migration of the injection and/or formation
				fluid into an underground source of drinking water. Computation of the zone of
				endangering influence must be based upon the parameters listed below and must
				be calculated for an injection time period equal to the expected life of the
				injection well or pattern. The modified Theis equation in Appendix A,
				incorporated herein by reference, illustrates one form which the mathematical
				model may take. This equation is based on the following assumptions:
i. The injection zone is homogeneous and
				isotropic;
ii. The injection zone
				has infinite areal extent;
iii. The
				injection well penetrates the entire thickness of the injection zone;
iv. The well diameter is infinitesimal
				compared to "r" when injection time is longer than a few minutes; and
v. The emplacement of fluid into the
				injection zone creates instantaneous increase in pressure. Other models, such
				as those mentioned in the EPA publication Radius of Pressure Influence of
				Injection Wells (EPA-6/279-170), may be used for different situations
				encountered in the field or where the model assumptions match those situations
				more closely, if the Department approves of the model and determines that the
				model is appropriate.
