Section 335.203 - Site Selection To Protect Groundwater or Surface WaterThe commission may not issue a permit for a new hazardous waste management facility or the areal expansion of an existing hazardous waste management facility unless it finds that the proposed site, when evaluated in light of proposed design, construction, and operational features, reasonably minimizes possible contamination of surface water and groundwater. In making this determination, the commission shall consider the following factors:
(1) active geologic processes such as flooding, erosion, subsidence, submergence, and faulting;(2) groundwater conditions such as groundwater flow rate, groundwater quality, length of flow path to points of discharge, and aquifer recharge or discharge conditions;(3) soil conditions such as stratigraphic profile and complexity, hydraulic conductivity of strata, and separation distance from the facility to the aquifer and points of discharge to surface water; and(4) climatological conditions.30 Tex.
