Demonstration of adequate separation between the outer limits of the injection zone and any other activities in the dome. Location and nature of other salt cavern storage activities sulfur mining, salt mining, brine production, oil and gas activity, and any other activity which may adversely affect or be affected by waste disposal in a salt cavern. Note: The applicant is not limited to the technologies required and/or mentioned in the regulations or the application form. Additional techniques, such as salt proximity surveys and vertical seismic profiling, may be used to supplement the required 3-D seismic grid in establishing the geology of the proposal. As in all other cases, supporting data must be submitted in the application. Waste Characteristics Bulk density Bulk waste permeability Bulk waste porosity Bulk waste compaction rate Physical characteristics of the waste Physical characteristics of the transporting media Solidification test procedures and results under cavern conditions. Engineering Provide the and credentials of those responsible for design of the cavern. (A solid waste disposal salt cavern is required to be designed by a "qualified professional engineer and geologist"). [] Data on construction and completion of the cavern: Detailed cavern construction procedures, including plans for pilot hole/core hole and engineering diagrams for subsurface construction details Cavern dimensions and maximum cavern volume Plans for continual monitoring of the volumes of fluids injected and produced during cavern development Whether the cavern will be dewatered Cavern solutioning brines disposal plan Minimum distance between outter edge of the injection zone and salt stock pillar to cavern diameter Minimum P/D ratio Distance of separation of adjacent salt cavern injection zones Cavern pressure test plans, including specifications and design limitations for tools Verification of cavern shape and size description of tests frequency Logs, cores and tests
