Oklahoma Administrative Code
Title 252 - Department of Environmental Quality
Chapter 653 - Aquifer Storage and Recovery
Subchapter 5 - ASR Treatment Plant Construction
Section 252:653-5-3 - Variances from construction standards

The policy of DEQ is to encourage better water treatment methods and equipment, including the use of new technology. DEQ may approve processes or equipment not specifically covered by the standards in this Chapter provided the permittee requests an approvable variance. A variance from the standards in this Chapter may be allowed, upon the request of the applicant, if DEQ finds the variance will not increase the likelihood of a system failure or detrimental effects to the aquifer. No variance will be allowed unless it is noted on the construction permit.
