- In addition to the requirements of OAC 252:653-7-2, a plan shall be submitted to DEQ with appropriate bench-scale testing followed by field-scale pilot testing and modeling for evaluating the compatibility of the delivered water with the receiving aquifer water for possible subsequent changes in aquifer characteristics, groundwater, or stored water due to hydrogeologic or hydrogeochemical changes. The plan shall include provisions for testing to determine if the proposed full-scale, long-term project is hydrologically feasible and to collect and evaluate operational, hydrologic, and geologic data, including dissolution rates, needed to support operational application for a full scale project.
