A. No operator shall drill a well in a location other than that authorized by the permit issued pursuant to R12-7-104 until the following requirements have been met:

1. If the operator decides to change the location before drilling the well, an amended application for permit to drill shall be filed showing the new location.

2. If it is determined that the location is erroneously described on the permit after drilling has begun, the operator shall obtain a new permit showing the correct location.

Within ten days after obtaining such authorization, the operator shall file an amended application showing the new location. An amended permit may be issued and the old permit cancelled without payment of additional fee.
