"Restoration" shall mean the employment, during and after an activity, of procedures reasonably designed to control, minimize, and eliminate hazards to humans, animals, and the environment, to protect the public health and welfare and air, land, water, and subsurface resources, and to return each resource to a quality of use consistent with the "uses for which the resource was suitable" prior to the activity. Restoration shall be considered not accomplished if, after subsurface operations end, an aquifer is unsuitable for any use for which it was suitable before the subsurface operations began or if the post-activity water quality is such that treatment is preferable hydrologically, as determined by the Department in the exercise of its discretion, for the conduct of any such use.
