The permittee shall integrate the data obtained into adjusted injection zone waste transport calculations, waste front calculations and updated cross-sections of the injection zone and include these items in the completion report.       
        (3) Local authorities. The permittee shall provide written notice to the executive director in a manner specified by the executive director that a copy of the permit has been properly filed with the health and pollution control authorities of the county, city, and town where the well is located.       
        (4) Start-up date and time. The permittee shall notify the executive director in writing of the anticipated well construction and cavern construction start-up dates. Compliance with all pre-operation terms of the permit must occur prior to beginning injection operations. The permittee shall notify the executive director at least 24 hours prior to beginning drilling and cavern construction operations.       
        (5) Approval of construction and completion. Prior to beginning operations, the permittee shall obtain written approval from the executive director which states that the constructions and completions of the well and cavern are in compliance with the applicable provisions of the salt cavern solid waste disposal well permit. To obtain certification, the permittee shall submit to the executive director the following reports and certifications prepared and sealed by a professional engineer with current registration pursuant to the Texas Engineering Practice Act:                  (A) final construction, "as-built" plans and specifications, reservoir data, and an evaluation of the considerations set out in §331.45(2) of this title;                   (B) certification that the construction of the well, cavern, and associated facilities has been completed in accordance with the provisions of the disposal well permit and with the design and construction specifications of the permittee's application;                   (C) certification that actual data obtained on the confining and injection zones will not result in a need for a change in the operating parameters specified in the permit.         
      (b) Operating reports.      
        (1) Injection operation quarterly report. For noncommercial facilities only, within 20 days after the last day of the months of March, June, September, and December, the permittee shall submit to the executive director a quarterly report of injection operation on forms supplied by the executive director. These forms will comply with the reporting requirements of 40 Code of Federal Regulations §146.69(a). The executive director may require more frequent reporting.       
        (2) Injection operation monthly report. For commercial facilities only the following shall apply.                  (A) The permittee shall submit to the commission within 10 days after the last day of each month a report describing chemical characteristics of new waste streams received for injection. The report shall be on forms provided by or acceptable to the commission.                   (B) The permittee shall submit within 30 days after the last day of each month a report to the commission including the following information for wastes received and injected during the month:                      (i) names and locations of the companies and plants generating the wastes;                       (ii) chemical and physical characteristics and volume of waste received from each company including pH;                       (iii) names of companies transporting the wastes; and                       (iv) a log of injection operations for each injection episode including, but not limited to, time of injection, injection rate, injection pressures, injection fluid volume, injection fluid pH, and injection fluid density.                     (C) The permittee shall submit to the commission within 20 days of the last day of each month a report of injection operations on forms provided by the commission. These forms will comply with the reporting requirements of 40 Code of Federal Regulations §146.69(a). The executive director may require more frequent reporting.         
        (3) Injection zone annual report. For all facilities, the permittee shall submit annually with the December report of injection operation an updated graphic or other acceptable report and description of the effects of the well and cavern on the area of review, including a report on monitoring required by §331.166(h) of this title (relating to Monitoring and Testing Requirements). To the extent such information is reasonably available the report shall also include:                  (A) locations of newly constructed or newly discovered wells within the area of review if such wells were not included in the technical report accompanying the permit application or in later reports;                   (B) a tabulation of data as required by §331.121(a)(2)(B) of this title (relating to Class I Wells) for all such wells within 1/2 mile of the injection well and for all other wells within the area of review that penetrate the injection zone or confining zone; and                   (C) for noncommercial facilities only, a current injection fluid analysis.         
        (4) Workover reports. Within 30 days after the completion of the workover, a report shall be filed with the executive director including the reason for well workover and the details of all work performed and interpretations of all logs and data collected.
