Sec. 22a-354b. Standards for modeling and mapping of locations of aquifers.
The Commissioner of Environmental Protection shall establish standards for two levels
of modeling and mapping of the location in aquifers of well field areas, zones of contribution and recharge areas. Standards for mapping at level A shall be established by regulations adopted by the commissioner in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54,
except that notice of intent to adopt such regulations shall be published on or before
July 1, 1990, and shall be based on hydrogeological data of aquifer geometry, hydraulic
characteristics and connection to surface water features, groundwater level data and
surface water discharge information for model calibration and pump test data for model
verification. Standards for mapping at level B shall be established by guidelines developed by the commissioner and shall be based on existing geologic mapping of known
aquifer characteristics, limited field verification, the location of existing and potential
well fields and pumping rates.
(P.A. 88-324, S. 2; P.A. 90-275, S. 7, 9.)
History: P.A. 90-275 required the notice of intent to adopt the regulations to be published on or before July 1, 1990.
