(2) Surface facilities associated with new H2S wells shall be located not less than 600 feet from existing water wells, existing structures used for public or private occupancy, existing areas maintained for public recreation, or the edge of the traveled portion of an existing interstate, United States, or state highway. The supervisor or authorized representative of the supervisor may grant an exception to the setback distance to not less than 450 feet for a class II H2S well and not less than 300 feet for a class III H2S well and a class IV H2S well either upon presentation, to the supervisor or authorized representative of the supervisor, of a consent form, provided by the supervisor, signed by the owner or owners of all existing water wells, existing structures used for public or private occupancy, or existing areas maintained for public recreation located less than 600 feet from the proposed process equipment site or upon receipt of a petition from the permittee for a hearing pursuant to part 12 of these rules. (3) If existing process equipment is located less than 600 feet from existing water wells, existing structures used for public or private occupancy, existing areas maintained for public recreation, or a state, United States, or interstate highway, then the supervisor or authorized representative of the supervisor may require relocation of the facility if it is substantially reconstructed after September 2, 1987. (4) The supervisor shall not require relocation of an existing facility because of its proximity to an existing water well, to a structure used for public or private occupancy, to an area maintained for public recreation, or to a state, United States, or interstate highway constructed or established after the installation of the facility or after September 2, 1987.
