Texas Administrative Code › Title 30 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part 1 - TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Chapter 331 - UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL › Subchapter D - STANDARDS FOR CLASS I WELLS OTHER THAN SALT CAVERN SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL WELLS › Section 331.65 - Reporting Requirements

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Applicability. Subsections (b) - (d) of this section apply to all Class I wells
				  except for those Class I wells authorized to inject only nonhazardous
				  desalination concentrate or nonhazardous drinking water treatment
				  residuals.
(b) Pre-operation
				  reports. For new wells, including wells converting to Class I status, the
				  requirements are as follows.
(1) Completion
				  report. Within 90 days after the completion or conversion of the well, the
				  permittee shall submit a Completion Report to the executive director. The
				  report must include a surveyor's plat showing the exact location and giving the
				  latitude and longitude of the well. The report must also include a
				  certification that a notation on the deed to the facility property or on some
				  other instrument which is normally examined during title search has been made
				  stating the surveyed location of the well, the well permit number, and its
				  permitted waste streams. The permittee shall also include in the report the
				  following, prepared and sealed by a licensed professional engineer or licensed
				  professional geoscientist with current registration under the Texas Engineering
				  Practice Act or Texas Geoscience Practice Act:
(A) actual as-built drilling and completion
				  data on the well;
(B) all logging
				  and testing data on the well;
(C) a
				  demonstration of mechanical integrity;
(D) anticipated maximum pressure and flow
				  rate at which the permittee will operate;
(E) results of the injection zone and
				  confining zone testing program as required in §
												331.62 of
				  this title (relating to Construction Standards) and this subsection;
(F) adjusted formation pressure increase
				  calculations, fluid front calculations and updated cross-sections of the
				  confining and injection zones, based on the data obtained during construction
				  and testing;
(G) the actual
				  injection procedure;
(H) the
				  compatibility of injected wastes with fluids in the injection zone and minerals
				  in both the injection zone and the confining zone and materials used to
				  construct the well;
(I) the
				  calculated area of review and cone of influence based on data obtained during
				  logging and testing of the well and the formation, and where necessary,
				  revisions to the information submitted under §
												331.121
				  of this title (relating to Class I Wells);
(J) the status of corrective action required
				  for defective wells in the area of review;
(K) a Well Data Report on forms provided by
				  the executive director;
(L)
				  compliance with the casing and cementing performance standard in §
												331.62(5)
				  of this title; and
(M) compliance
				  with the cementing requirements in §
												331.62(6)
				  of this title.
