Design <br /> shall be in accordance with the Uniform Building Code to <br /> ensure structural stability. <br /> a Major Recharge Areas for Aquifers <br /> A recharge area is an area in which water that is ab- <br /> sorbed eventually reaches the zone of saturation in one <br /> or more aquifers. <br /> All facilities located in these areas must be designed to <br /> prevent release.
