Alternative monitor well locations and spacing may be considered if the operator can demonstrate that the proposed location or spacing will adequately provide monitoring coverage to detect excursions in a timely manner. Closer spacing of these wells may be required by the secretary in the down gradient groundwater flow direction from the production zone.
