Use produced water to augment surface stream flows |
| Text: |
"Injection for Hydrological Purposes: Stream Flow Augmentation: Where discharges are permitted, treated produced water meeting applicable discharge standards could be directly discharged to surface water bodies" such as streams and rivers. |

| General Comments: |
"When used for stream augmentation, the quality of produced water must be controlled to avoid impairment of the surface water quality pursuant to the criteria adopted by the host state. Moreover, the quantity of the added produced water must not increase excessive erosion or damage to stream channels." |
| Cost-Benefit Analysis: |
“The State of New Mexico began a tax credit program in 2002, encouraging oil and gas operators to treat produced water and discharge it to the Pecos River rather than inject it undergroundâ€
