The proposed rulemaking would amend existing rules and add new rules pertaining to the use of a Class I well for disposal of nonhazardous drinking water treatment residuals (DWTR) into a salt cavern in horizontally bedded or non-domal salt. This includes disposal of nonhazardous DWTR that contain naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM). For commercial disposal of DWTR containing NORM, a Class I well permit would be accompanied by a radioactive materials license. The proposed rules would provide a disposal alternative within Texas for public water systems to dispose of their treatment residuals containing NORM in a manner that is protective of human health and safety and the environment. The proposed rules include the repeal of an obsolete rule and editorial clarifications and corrections.
