- (a) Subject to (e), below, the applicant shall perform the pumping test in accordance with the pumping test proposal as approved in the preliminary report.
- (b) The applicant shall notify the department of the anticipated start date at least one week prior to the start of the pumping test.
- (c) Prior to conducting the pumping test, the applicant shall provide a copy of the temporary groundwater or surface water discharge permit obtained for the pumping test pursuant to Env-Wq 402.
- (d) The pumping test shall be supervised by a person who is qualified based on education and experience in hydrogeology to quantitatively analyze and interpret the results of the test.
- (e) The applicant shall postpone or prolong the pumping test if high recharge conditions are likely to result in test data that cannot be used for the purposes specified in Env-Dw 302.14(a). This determination shall be made jointly by the applicant and the department based on site-specific conditions at the time of testing. If high recharge conditions are present but postponing or prolonging the test is not reasonably feasible, the applicant shall include a justification for not postponing or prolonging the test in the final report and adjust the collected data using conservative assumptions to reflect average conditions.
- (f) The applicant shall undertake water quality sampling in accordance with the approved proposal.
- (g) If the applicant wishes to change any aspect of the pumping test or water quality sampling program, the applicant shall submit a written request to the department that identifies the requested change(s) and explains why the change(s) should be approved.
- (h) The department shall approve a requested change if the modification does not affect the integrity of the data collected and the resulting modified testing protocol will produce the necessary information.
