the chosen method of disposal, a groundwater protection plan (GPP), must be filed as part of the permit packet. Generally, most pit contents (excluding those generated from an H6A well) may be land applied after proper treatment and aeration procedures. Another general permit, GP-WV-1-07, allows for produced water from certain coalbed methane wells to be applied directly to the ground. To qualify for coverage under this permit, candidate wells must meet strict water quality criteria. Analyses of surface water, and in some cases, groundwater, must be presented to OOG on a semi-annual basis for review. Spill Prevention and SPCC Plans 35 CSR 1 To prevent discharged oil from reaching waters of the state, all operators are to have adequate containment or diversionary structures in place at each well or facility. Operators are also required to have a Spill Prevention Control Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan for these facilities. This requirement was devised as a result of the passage of the Clean Water Act (CWA) to protect waters of the state from discharged oil. Miscellaneous The OOG investigates numerous water well contamination cases yearly. Sampling and analytical work have become routine tasks during such investigations. Parameters vary from case to case, but usually at a minimum, include those which have already been mentioned. The analyses are submitted on paper and kept in the corresponding investigation file. V. DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Division of Water and Waste Management Office of Waste Management - Solid Waste Permitting Unit (SWPU) The SWPU regulates solid waste facilities under the Solid Waste Management Rule, 33CSR1. This includes the review of applications for various permitting activities for new and existing facilities such as permit issuance, renewal, or closure. The SWPU reviews applications to accept special waste, to alter groundwater monitoring systems, and also reviews statistical groundwater monitoring reports, conducts construction quality assurance and quality control inspections, and compliance assistance to waste generators.
