When a well to be plugged may safely be used as a freshwater well and such utilization is desired by the surface owner, the well need not be filled above the required sealing plug set below freshwater; provided, the surface owner demonstrates to the Supervisor that the well is being utilized as a freshwater well or agrees to take full responsibility for the well and acquires a two thousand dollar ($2,000.00) surety bond acceptable to the Board and files such bond with the Board on Form OGB-3. The Supervisor may later release the bond upon proper demonstration that the well is being utilized as a freshwater well.
