(a) When injection does not occur into, through, or above an underground source of drinking water, the commission, by permit, may authorize a well with less stringent requirements than those required in this chapter to the extent that the less stringent requirements will not result in an increased likelihood of movement of fluid that may pollute USDWs, and fresh or surface water.
(b) When injection occurs and a cone of depression centered at the well or well field is maintained for the injection zone, the commission, by permit, may authorize a well with less stringent requirements for operation, monitoring, and reporting than those required in this chapter to the extent that the less stringent requirements will not result in an increased likelihood of movement of fluid that may pollute USDWs, and fresh or surface water.
(c) When requirements are reduced under subsection (a) or (b) of this section, a technical summary will be prepared setting forth the basis for the action.
