of this chapter, the following geologic and groundwater information shall
be considered in planning and designing the aquifer test under §230.8(c)
of this title (relating to Obtaining Site-Specific Groundwater Data):
(1) the stratigraphy of the geologic formations underlying
the subdivision;
(2) the lithology of the geologic strata;
(3) the geologic structure;
(4) the characteristics of the aquifer(s) and their hydraulic
relationships;
(5) the recharge to the aquifer(s), and movement and discharge
of groundwater from the aquifer(s); and
