halfway through. Any business or entity that wants to install a new UST system on the Recharge Zone of the Edwards Aquifer must submit an Application for Major Modification, and gain approval from the EAA General Manager, before installation. Once approval is granted and construction begins, EAA staff will conduct several inspections. During the excavation phase, staff will look for sensitive features (e.g., karst features, sinkholes, conduits, etc.). Following that, during the installation phase, staff will verify several technical aspects of the UST system such as the make and model of the product, installation of brine solution, pressure testing, and installation and function of various sensors.
