35.40.080 Regulations – Critical aquifer recharge areas mitigation plans.
(1) Mitigation plans for impacts to critical aquifer recharge areas shall include the following information in addition to the information listed in CCC 35.40.040:
(a) Geologic setting and soils information for the site and surrounding area;
(b) Water quality data, including pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, nitrates, salinity, and bacteria;
(c) Location and depth of perched water tables;
(d) Recharge potential of facility site (permeability/transmissivity);
(e) Hydrologic budget;
(f) Local groundwater flow, direction and gradient;
(g) Location, depth, and other water quality data on the three shallowest wells or springs located within 1,000 feet of the site;
(h) Impacts on wellhead protection areas located within the development proposal;
(i) Surface water locations within 1,000 feet of the site;
(j) Discussion of the effects of the proposed project on groundwater quality and quantity;
(k) Recommendations on appropriate mitigation, if any, to assure that there shall be no measurable exceedance of minimum State groundwater quality standards or measurable reduction in available quantity of groundwater;
(l) Emergency management plan; and
(m) Contaminant release detection.
