Section 702.20 - Studies and monitoring for discharges to groundwater

(a) The department may require the submission of information by any person responsible for a discharge in order that the department may evaluate the short- and long-term effect the discharge may have on groundwaters of the State or for the purpose of determining additional (section 702.15[a]of this Part) or more stringent (section 702.18 of this Part) effluent limitations or modifications (section 702.19 of this Part) thereto. Such information may include but is not limited to the following:

(1) a statement of the property to be affected by a discharge and the extent to which such property is under the control of the person responsible for such discharge;

(2) a geohydrologic analysis of the aquifers that may be affected;

(3) a determination of the direction and rate of movement of the discharge and the natural groundwater;

(4) an evaluation of adverse effects a discharge may have on any aquifer, source of potable water supply, or other surface waters or groundwaters of the State; and

(5) an evaluation of the ability of unconsolidated deposits, consolidated rock or bedrock and the groundwaters to attenuate potential pollutants such that the best usage of the groundwaters is maintained.

(b) The department may require the installation and operation of monitoring facilities in order to assure compliance with effluent limitations or to evaluate the effect of the discharge on the quality of the groundwater. Specific monitoring requirements shall be established by the department on a case-by-case basis and as may be required by section 7501.13 of this Title.
