The application for approval of a plan to discharge wastes or pollutants to groundwater shall include the following complete information:
(1) The name and address of the owner and operator of the project and the name and address of the operator if different than the owner. A corporate application must be signed by the officers of the corporation. The name and address of the contact, if different than above, and telephone numbers for all listed names shall be included;(2) The legal location of the facility by county, quarter, quarter, quarter, quarter, section, township, and range;(3) The name of the project or facility and the type of operation, facility, or development, including the expected project life;(4) A plat map showing all wells, water bodies, drainages, natural or man-made structures, and water usage within a one-mile radius of the discharge. The plat map must show the location and depth of existing or proposed wells to be used for monitoring groundwater quality;(5) Geologic, hydrologic, and agricultural description of the area of review, including topography, soil types, aquifers, groundwater flow direction, aquifer material, and well logs. The hydrologic description must include a projected area of influence;(6) The type, source, and chemical, physical, radiological, and toxic characteristics of the effluent or leachate to be discharged; the average and maximum daily amount of effluent or leachate discharged (gpd), the discharge rate (gpm), and the expected concentrations of any contaminant (mg/L) listed in § 74:54:01:04 in each discharge or combination of discharges. If more than one discharge point is used, information for each point must be given individually;(7) Information which shows that the discharge can be controlled and will not migrate into or adversely affect the quality of any other waters of the state, including the applicable surface water quality standards, that the discharge is compatible with the receiving groundwater, and that the discharge will comply with the groundwater quality standards in chapter 74:54:01;(8) If applicable, the description of the POP, including the dimensions and hydrologic and geologic data used to determine the dimensions, the proposed compliance monitoring point, and justification of necessary economic or social development for the POP;(9) A proposed monitoring plan, which includes a description of the following: (a) Groundwater monitoring to, at a minimum, determine groundwater flow direction and gradient, ambient water quality at the site, the quality of groundwater one-third the distance between the point of application and the compliance monitoring point, if applicable, and the quality of groundwater at the compliance monitoring point;(b) The installation, use, and maintenance of effluent monitoring devices;(c) Monitoring of the vadose zone;(d) Continuation of monitoring after cessation of operations;(e) Measures to prevent groundwater contamination after the cessation of operation, including post-operational monitoring;(f) Monitoring well construction and groundwater sampling which conforms to Handbook for Investigations and Corrective Action Requirements for Discharges from Storage Tanks, Piping, Systems and Other Releases: Appendix C, Standard Operating Procedures Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, (Version 2.0 - March 2003) and National Field Manual for the Collection of Water-Quality Data, book 9, chaps. A1-A9 October 1997 to April 2004, unless otherwise specified by the secretary;(g) Description and justification of parameters to be monitored;(10) Plans and specifications relating to construction, modification, or operation of discharge systems;(11) Description of the groundwater most likely to be affected by the discharge, including water quality information of the receiving groundwater prior to discharge, a description of the aquifer in which the groundwater occurs, the depth to the groundwater, the saturated thickness, flow direction, porosity, hydraulic conductivity, and flow system characteristics;(12) Distance to the nearest well, the use and the water quality of that well, and a listing of all water wells in the area of review and the status of each;(13) A compliance sampling plan which includes provisions for sampling of effluent and for flow monitoring, to determine the volume and chemistry of the discharge onto or below the surface of the ground and a plan for sampling monitoring wells and appropriate nearby water wells which includes the parameters to be sampled for. Sampling and analytical methods must conform with § 74:54:01:06;(14) A description of the flooding potential of the discharge site, including the 100-year flood plain, and any applicable flood protection measures;(15) A contingency plan for bringing the facility into compliance if permitted allowable limits are exceeded; and(16) Methods and procedures for inspections of the facility operations and for detecting failure of the system.S.D.
