In the fourth volume it were considered administrative and programmatic requirements to the storage. In general, it was noted that the project fulfills most of the requirements except for certain relating to the ownership of land and water rights. In particular, it was noted that DOE has not acquired the ownership of land, where it planned to build a storage facility. The land is also not free from various rights, such as the mining rights, the rights-of-way and other rights.
