conducting such operations--  7#a7 to   
conduct testing of underground sources  
of drinking water in accordance with    
subsections 7c7 and 7d7-- 7,a7 with     
respect to a site where1 as of the date

underground injection has not commenced 
for the first time--  7i7 prior to      
commencement of underground injection at
 the site for the first time2  7ii7 at  
least once every #f months during the   
period beginning at the commencement of 
underground injection described in      
clause 7i7 and ending at the cessation  
of such hydraulic fracturing operations2
 and  7iii7 at least once every #ab     
months during the #e-year period

described in clause 7ii72  7,b7 with    
respect to a site where1 as of the date 
of enactment of this section1 there is  
no active underground injection1 but    
underground injection has previously    
occurred at the site--  7i7 prior to    
renewing underground injection at the   
site2  7ii7 at least once every #f      
months during the period beginning at   
such renewal of underground injection   
and ending at the cessation of such     
hydraulic fracturing operations2 and

testing and reporting requirements of   
subsection 7a7 do not apply with respect
 to hydraulic fracturing operations if  
there is no accessible underground
