| (a) If any recharge feature is discovered during construction
of an OSSF, all regulated activities near the feature shall be suspended immediately.
The owner shall immediately notify the appropriate regional office of the
discovery of the feature. Activities regulated under Chapter 213 of this title
(relating to Edwards Aquifer) or this chapter shall not proceed near the feature
until the permitting authority, in conjunction with the appropriate regional
office, has reviewed and approved a plan proposed to protect the feature,
the structural integrity of the OSSF, and the water quality of the aquifer.
The plan shall be sealed, signed, and dated by a professional engineer.
(b) No OSSF may be installed closer than 75 feet from the banks
of the Nueces, Dry Frio, Frio, or Sabinal Rivers downstream from the northern
Uvalde county line to the recharge zone.
(c) Additional requirements may apply as required by the permitting
authority's order, ordinance, or resolution.
