27.12.865 Critical aquifer recharge areas – Special requirements.
Mitigation plans for impacts to critical aquifer recharge areas shall be prepared by a person(s) meeting the qualifications under this chapter with professional experience in mitigation plan design, implementation, and monitoring, hydrogeologic assessment and professional experience in hydrogeology or a related field. The person(s) shall also be knowledgeable in the effect of the proposed development on ground water quality and quantity. The hydrologic assessment shall consider, but is not limited to:
(1) Geologic setting and soils information of site and surrounding area;
(2) Water quality data, including pH, temperature, conductivity, nitrates, and bacteria;
(3) Location and depth of perched water tables;
(4) Recharge potential of facility site (permeability/transmissivity);
(5) Hydrologic budget;
(6) Local ground water flow, direction and gradient;
(7) Location, depth and other water quality data on the three shallowest wells or springs located within 1,000 feet of site;
(8) Impacts on well head protection areas located within the development proposal;
(9) Surface water locations within 1,000 feet of the site;
(10) Discussion of the effects of the proposed project on ground water quality and quantity;
(11) Recommendations on appropriate mitigation, if any, to assure that there shall be no measurable exceedence of minimum state ground water quality standards or measurable reduction in available quantity of ground water;
(12) Emergency management plan; and
(13) Provide for contaminant release detection.
