a. On a Form 4, Sundry Notice, Operators of Deep Geothermal Wells and Geothermal Science Wells will report the initial state of the Geothermal Resource, obtained as soon as practicable after Completion of such Well, by providing data of temperature and pressure, as well as initial flow rates and volumes if a flow test was done.
b. On a Form 4, Sundry Notice, Operators will provide observation well records within 30 days of any measurement taken in an observation well, or temperature gradient well, including temperature and pressure readings.
c. Operators will annually report a summary of Fluid usage by submitting a Form 4 Sundry to the Deep Geothermal Facility:
d. Where the Director believes it is necessary to prevent waste, prevent the degradation of the geothermal resource, protect correlative rights, or to protect and minimize adverse impacts to public health, safety, welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources, the Director may require subsurface temperature or pressure measurements.
