Aquifer testing/ pumping test results Sample Clauses
The "Aquifer testing/pumping test results" clause defines the requirements for conducting and reporting the results of tests performed on groundwater aquifers, typically to assess their capacity and suitability for water extraction. This clause usually specifies the methods to be used for testing, the parameters to be measured (such as water levels, flow rates, and recovery times), and the format in which results must be documented and submitted. By establishing clear standards for aquifer testing and reporting, the clause ensures that all parties have reliable data to inform decisions about groundwater use, thereby reducing the risk of disputes and supporting responsible resource management.

Aquifer testing/ pumping test results. The Commission’s regulations require that aquifer test results be submitted as part of any application for new or increased groundwater withdrawals. Project sponsors in the New York portion of the basin will be directed to follow the “Pumping Test Procedures for Water Withdrawal Applications,” TOGS3 3.2.1, which is available on the NYSDEC website at: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇/lands/86950.html, and to submit the results to the Commission as part of any groundwater withdrawal application submittal. Note that the Commission and NYSDEC will advise project sponsors to submit aquifer testing plans to the Commission for review and approval 3 “TOGS” stands for “Technical and Operational Guidance Series.” prior to conducting a test, especially if the project sponsor proposes to deviate from the NYSDEC Test Procedures. If deviations from DEC Test Procedures are requested, DRBC will consult with NYSDEC prior to approving them. The DRBC staff will provide the NYSDEC RPA with written notification (commonly via email) when a project sponsor submits an aquifer testing plan, and will share the plan with NYSDEC staff. NYSDEC staff will transmit any relevant comments to the Commission within 30 days of receipt of the aquifer testing plan. The DRBC staff will review the aquifer testing plan for consistency with applicable regulations and requirements of the Commission and the terms of this Agreement. For those plans determined to be incomplete, DRBC will notify the project sponsor in writing of the deficiencies, with a copy to the NYSDEC RPA. DRBC staff will also copy the NYSDEC RPA or designee on correspondence to the project sponsor approving a testing plan.
