RULE §39.651Application for Injection Well Permit

    (C) If the applicant proposes a new solid waste management facility, the applicant shall mail notice to each residential or business address, not listed under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, located within 1/2 mile of the facility and to each owner of real property located within 1/2 mile of the facility listed in the real property appraisal records of the appraisal district in which the facility is located. The notice must be mailed to the persons listed as owners in the real property appraisal records on the date the application is determined to be administratively complete. The notice must be mailed no more than 45 days and no less than 30 days before the contested case hearing. Within 30 days after the date of mailing, the applicant shall file with the chief clerk an affidavit certifying compliance with its obligations under this subsection. Filing an affidavit certifying facts that constitute compliance with notice requirements creates a rebuttable presumption of compliance with this subparagraph.

  (4) Radio broadcast. If the application concerns a hazardous waste facility, the applicant shall broadcast notice under §39.503(d)(2) of this title.

  (5) Deadline. Notice under paragraphs (2)(A), (3), and (4) of this subsection must be completed at least 30 days before the contested case hearing.

(g) Approval. All published notices required by this section must be in a form approved by the executive director prior to publication.

(h) Applications for individual Class V injection well permits for aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) projects. Notwithstanding the requirements of subsections (c) and (d) of this section, this subsection establishes the public notice requirements for an application for an individual Class V injection well permit for an ASR project. Issuance of the Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain a Permit is not required for an application for an individual Class V injection well permit for an ASR project. The notice required by §39.419 of this title must be published by the applicant once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the injection well will be located after the chief clerk has mailed the preliminary decision and the Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision to the applicant. The chief clerk shall provide notice by first class mail to any groundwater conservation district in which the wells associated with the ASR project will be located. The chief clerk shall also mail notice to the persons listed in §39.413(7) - (9) of this title. This notice must contain the text as required by §39.411(c)(1) - (6) of this title.
