NAC534A.420. Reinjection of fluids unless alternative method of disposal approved; “by-product” defined.  


Latest version.
  •      1. Unless the Administrator approves an alternative method of disposal, all fluids derived from geothermal resources must be reinjected into the same reservoir from which the fluids were produced.

         2. For purposes of this section, “by-product” means any minerals which are found in solution or in association with geothermal resources and which because of quantity, quality or technical difficulties in extraction and production are of insufficient value to warrant extraction and production by themselves.
