NAC445A.8495. Motor vehicle waste disposal wells: Application for permit to continue operation of well.

     1. If the owner of a motor vehicle waste disposal well determined to be located within a groundwater protection area or other sensitive groundwater area wishes to obtain a permit to continue operating the well, the owner must request an application for a permit from the Division. The owner must submit a completed application to the Director not later than 90 days after the date on which the owner receives the application from the Division.

     2. Not later than 30 days after the date on which the Director receives the application, the Director shall review the application to determine whether it is complete. The Director may request additional information from an applicant if the Director determines that the application is not complete. When an application is determined to be complete, the Division shall make a final determination as to whether the well is located in another sensitive groundwater area.

     3. To obtain and maintain a permit to operate a motor vehicle waste disposal well located within a groundwater protection area or other sensitive groundwater area, the owner of the well must:

     (a) Demonstrate that, at the point of injection of the well, the drinking water standards of this State are met as of the date on which the application is submitted, and will continue to be met thereafter;

     (b) Submit with the application a plan that establishes the best practices for the management of the well, and agree to put into place and carry out the plan as described in the permit; and

     (c) Agree to monitor injectate and sludge quality for the well.

     4. As used in this section, “point of injection” means the last accessible sampling point before waste fluids are released into the subsurface environment through an injection well.
