Title 122 - NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Chapter 20 - MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Section 122-20-003
Current through March 20, 2024
For Class III Injection Wells, monitoring requirements shall, at a minimum, include:
003.01 The analysis of the physical and chemical characteristics of the injected fluid with sufficient frequency to yield representative data on its characteristics;
003.02 Installation and use of devices to monitor the injection pressure, flow rate and volume as specified by the Department;
003.03 Demonstration of mechanical integrity pursuant to Chapter 18 of this Title at least once every five years during the life of the well;
003.04 Monitoring of fluid level and the parameters chosen to measure water quality in the injection zone as specified by the Department;
003.05 Monitoring of wells adjacent to the injection site to detect any migration from the injection zone into an USDW as specified by the Department; and
003.06 All Class III wells may be monitored on a field or project basis rather than an individual well basis by manifold monitoring. Manifold monitoring may be used in cases of facilities consisting of more than one injection well operating with a common manifold. Separate monitoring systems for each well are not required provided the owner/operator demonstrates that manifold monitoring is comparable to individual well monitoring.
