Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities ("Department") operates the 55.5 million gallon per day ("MGD") Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant ("SRWWTP"), which uses multiple treatment processes to treat wastewater and produces high-quality effluent that is currently discharged into the four existing Deep Injection Wells No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4- or the Atlantic Ocean. Mechanical Integrity Testing ("MIT") for deep injection wells is a regulatory requirement to ensure that the well is structurally sound and that fluids are not migrating into underground sources of drinking water. There are four key components for the MIT:
1. Pressure Testing
o Confirms the casing and tubing integrity under pressure.
2. Annulus Monitoring
o Checks for leaks between tubing and casing.
3. Radioactive Tracer or Temperature Logs
o Detects fluid movement behind the casing.
4. Cement Evaluation Logs
o Verifies proper cement placement to prevent migration.
This permit requires that the five-year mechanical integrity testing program be completed before April 25, 2026, for Deep Injection Well No. 3; before September 6, 2026, for Deep Injection Well No. 4; before August 20, 2027, for Deep Injection ...
