(a) A value which will not exceed the operating requirements of § 144.28(f)(3) (i) or (ii) as applicable; or
(b) A value for well head pressure calculated by using the following formula:

where:
Pm = injection pressure at the well head in pounds per square inch
Sg = specific gravity of inject fluid (unitless)
d = injection depth in feet.
