3. (3) a determination of the direction and rate of movement of the discharge and the natural groundwater;
4. (4) an evaluation of adverse effects a discharge may have on any aquifer, source of potable water supply, or other surface waters or groundwaters of the State; and
5. (5) an evaluation of the ability of unconsolidated deposits, consolidated rock or bedrock and the groundwaters to attenuate potential pollutants such that the best usage of the groundwaters is maintained.
