ASCE SEEKS COMMENTS ON PROFESSIONAL STANDARD:

Public Comment for ASCE/EWRI/MAR 69YY Standard Guidelines for Managed Aquifer Recharge

Runs February 11, 2019 through March 17, 2019

 RESTON, Va. — ASCE will conduct a public comment period on Standard ASCE/EWRI/MAR 69YY Standard Guidelines for Managed Aquifer Recharge. The public comment period will be held from February 11, 2019 through March 17, 2019.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a set of guidelines describing the activities required to implement a MAR project. This standard supersedes but builds upon Standard Guidelines for Artificial Recharge of Ground Water (ASCE 2001).  MAR projects progress through a series of phases that normally begins with initial planning activities and then continues with design, construction, operation, and finally closure of recharge facilities. This standard follows the progression through these phases, describing the key activities involved in each phase, and includes the economic, environmental, and legal (water rights, laws, and regulations) considerations, as well as site evaluation and field-testing procedures

To participate in the public comment period, contact James Neckel, ASCE’s Codes and Standards Coordinator, at jneckel@asce.org or (703) 295-6176.
