The area of review for an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) project is the area determined by a radius of 1/2 mile from the proposed ASR injection well. For an ASR project that includes more than one proposed injection well, the area of review is the area determined by a radius of 1/2 mile from the centroid of the injection well field. If the extent of the underground stored water of the ASR project will exceed the area determined by the 1/2 mile radius as described in this section, the area of review is the area determined by the projected extent of the underground stored water as calculated by using site-specific hydrogeologic information. In the application for authorization, the applicant shall provide information on the activities within the area of review including the following factors and their adverse impacts, if any, on the injection operation:(1) location of all artificial penetrations that penetrate the interval to be used for aquifer storage and recovery, including but not limited to: water wells and abandoned water wells from commission well files or ground water 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;(2) completion and construction information, where available, for identified artificial penetrations;(3) site specific, significant geologic features, such as faults and fractures; and(4) all information required for the consideration of an aquifer storage and recovery injection well under §331.186(a) of this title (relating to Additional Requirements).
