The administrative agreements shall, at a minimum, provide for:

9. (1) the adoption by each state of the minimum information requirements presented in section 890.32 of this Part for registration of new wells producing an average of 10,000 gpd or more during any 30-day period and automation of well records;
10. (2) the identification and automation of well records for all registered, existing wells producing an average of 10,000 gpd or more during any 30-day period; and
11. (3) the adoption of procedures for registration of unregistered, existing wells producing an average of 10,000 gpd or more during any 30-day period and automation of well records.
