(a) A permit issued pursuant to this division for on-lease
commercial solid oil and gas waste recycling shall contain any requirement
that the director or the Commission determines to be reasonably necessary
to ensure that:
(1) the design and construction of storage areas, containment
dikes, and processing areas minimize contact of oil and gas waste
and partially recycled waste with the ground surface, and prevent
pollution of surface and subsurface water;
(2) the pollution of surface and subsurface water from
spills, leachate, and/or discharges from the facility is prevented
by:
(A) prohibiting the unauthorized discharge of oil and
gas waste and other substances or materials, including contaminated
storm water runoff, to the land surface at and adjacent to the facility
or to surface and subsurface water;
(B) requiring that the permittee control and remediate
spills; and
(C) requiring that the permittee make regular inspections
of the facility; and
(3) the design and construction of the facility allows
for monitoring for, and detection of, any migration of oil and gas
waste or other substance or material.
(b) All storage cells at the site shall be:
(1) located above the top of the seasonal high water
table;
(2) designed to prevent stormwater runoff from entering
the area; and
(3) surrounded by berms with a minimum width at base
of three times the height and the berms constructed such that the
height, slope, and construction material are structurally sound and
do not allow seepage.
(c) A permit for on-lease commercial solid oil and
gas waste recycling issued pursuant to this division shall require
that the permittee notify the appropriate Commission district office
prior to commencement of construction, including construction of any
dikes, and again upon completion of construction, and that the permittee
may commence operations under the permit 72 hours after notice to
the appropriate district office.
