The area of review for an aquifer recharge (AR) project is
the area determined by a radius of at least 1/2 mile from each proposed
AR injection well. In the application for authorization, the applicant
shall provide information on the activities within the area of review,
including the following factors and any adverse interactions between
the factors and the AR project:
(1) locations of:
(A) all artificial penetrations that penetrate the
injection interval, including but not limited to: water wells and
abandoned water wells from commission well files or groundwater district
files; oil and gas wells and saltwater injection wells from the Railroad
Commission of Texas files; and waste disposal wells/other injection
wells from the commission disposal well files; and
(B) springs, quarries, and any other bodies of water,
surface or subsurface features that connect to the injection interval;
(2) completion and construction information, where
available, for identified artificial penetrations;
(3) site-specific, significant geologic features, such
as faults and fractures;
(4) land surface elevations for projects used to mitigate
subsidence;
(5) land use in the drainage basin and geographic extent
of the drainage basin for projects using improved sinkholes and caves;
and
(6) all information required for the consideration
of an AR injection well under §331.267(a) of this title (relating
to Additional Requirements).
