The injection pressure at the wellhead may not exceed the maximum permitted pressure, which must be calculated by methods approved by the secretary. If requested by the operator, the secretary may allow an increase in the maximum injection pressure utilizing the notice of recommendation procedure in chapter 74:12:09.
