16 Tex. Admin. Code § 6.109 - Operational Standards
(a) Safety. The
system must clearly be marked identifying it as a shallow closed-loop
geothermal system.
(b) Pressure
testing. Shallow closed-loop geothermal injection wells shall be
pressure-tested with water at 100 psi (690 kPa) for 30 minutes prior to
backfilling of connection (header) trenches. Any leaking loop shall be repaired
or replaced prior to completing the well.
(c) Local regulation. The Commission does not
require the submittal of site plans for wells authorized by rule under this
subchapter. However, a site plan may be required by a local health agent, other
local governmental entity, and/or a groundwater conservation
district.
