§ 87.43. Description of hydrology and geology: general requirements.
(a) Each application shall contain a description, in accordance with this section and § § 87.44—87.47, of the geology, hydrology and water quality and quantity of lands within the proposed permit area, the adjacent area and the general area. The description shall include information on the characteristics of surface and groundwaters within the general area, and water which will flow into or receive discharges of water from the general area.
(b) Information on hydrology, water quality, and quantity and geology related to hydrology of areas outside the proposed permit area may be obtained from an appropriate Federal or State agency. If this information is not available from those agencies, the applicant may gather and submit this information to the Department as part of the permit application. However, the permit will not be approved until this information is made available in the application.
(c) The use of modeling or other predictive techniques may be included as part of the permit application, but the same surface and groundwater information may be required for each site as when models are not used.
