The discharger shall provide subsequent written reports as required by the secretary.

2. (2) The discharger shall provide reports quarterly to the secretary on:

   1. (a) the physical, chemical and other relevant characteristics of injection fluids;
   2. (b) monthly average, maximum and minimum values for injection pressure, flow rate and volume, and annular pressure; and

   1. (a) periodic tests of mechanical integrity as required in Sections 20.6.2.5204 and 20.6.2.5207 NMAC;
   2. (b) any other test of the Class I non-hazardous waste injection well conducted by the discharger if required by the secretary;
