Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-34 - Underground Injection Control Program › Section 3745-34-59 - Information to be evaluated by the director

Current through all
			 regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) For a new class I hazardous waste
			 injection well, the owner shall submit all information listed in paragraph (B)
			 of this rule as part of the permit application except for those items of
			 information which are current, accurate, and available in the existing permit
			 record. For both existing and new class I hazardous waste injection wells,
			 certain maps, cross-sections, tabulations of wells within the area of review
			 and other data may be included in the application by reference provided they
			 are current and readily available to the director and sufficiently identifiable
			 to be retrieved.
(B) Prior to the
			 issuance of a permit for an existing class I hazardous waste injection well to
			 operate or the construction or conversion of a new class I hazardous waste
			 injection well, the director shall review the following to assure that the
			 requirements of this chapter are met:
(1)
			 Information required by rules
			 3745-34-12,
			 3745-34-13,
			 and
			 3745-34-14
			 of the Administrative Code;
(2) A
			 map showing the injection well for which a permit is sought and the applicable
			 area of review. Within the area of review, the map must show the number or name
			 and location of all producing wells, injection wells, abandoned wells, dry
			 holes, surface bodies of water, springs, mines (surface and subsurface),
			 quarries, water wells and other pertinent surface features, including
			 residences and roads. The map should also show faults, if known or suspected;
(3) A tabulation of all wells
			 within the area of review which penetrate the proposed injection zone or
			 confining zone. Such data shall include a description of each well's type,
			 construction, date drilled, location, depth, record of plugging and/or
			 completion and any additional information the director may require;
(4) The protocol followed to identify, locate
			 and ascertain the condition of abandoned wells within the area of review which
			 penetrate the injection or the confining zones;
(5) 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;
(6) Maps and cross-sections
			 detailing the geologic structure of the local area;
(7) Maps and cross-sections illustrating the
			 regional geologic setting;
(8)
			 Proposed operating data:
(a) Average and
			 maximum daily rate and volume of the fluid to be injected; and
(b) Average and maximum injection pressure
			 and calculation of proposed maximum injection pressure
(9) Proposed formation testing program to
			 obtain an analysis of the chemical, physical and radiological characteristics
			 of and other information on the injection formation and the confining zone;
(10) Proposed stimulation program;
(11) Proposed injection procedure;
(12) Schematic or other
			 appropriate drawings of the surface and subsurface construction details of the
			 well;
(13) Contingency plans to
			 cope with all shut-ins or well failures so as to prevent migration of fluids
			 into any USDW;
(14) Plans
			 (including maps) for meeting monitoring requirements of rule
			 3745-34-57
			 of the Administrative Code; and
(15) For wells within the area of review
			 which penetrate the injection zone or the confining zone but are not properly
			 completed or plugged, the plan and comprehensive schedule for corrective action
			 to be taken under rule
			 3745-34-53
			 of the Administrative Code;
(16)
			 Construction procedures including a cementing and casing program, well
			 materials specifications and their life expectancy, logging procedures,
			 deviation checks, and a drilling, testing and coring program;
(17) A certificate that the applicant has
			 assured, through a performance bond or other appropriate means, the resources
			 necessary to close, plug or abandon the well and for post closure care.
