Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 52, December 26, 2024
Each operator that has conducted land-spreading shall meet all
of the following requirements for each land-spreading site:
(a) Within 60 days after the conclusion of
land-spreading, submit a land-spreading report to the KCC. The operator shall
identify each part of the report by the KCC land-spreading approval number from
the approved application. The land-spreading report shall contain the following
items:
(1) The following information for each
well from which the drilling waste was generated, on a form provided by the
KCC:
(A) The operator name and license
number;
(B) if the well is
permitted in a state other than Kansas, the name and telephone number of the
state authority that permitted the well;
(C) the location of the well, including the
following:
(i) The state and county in which
the well is located;
(ii) the legal
description of the well;
(iii) the
number of feet the well is located from the north or south section line and the
east or west section line; and
(iv)
the latitude and longitude of the well, as determined using GPS;
(F) the American petroleum institute (API)
number;
(G) the spud date, as
defined in K.A.R. 82-3-101;
(H)
verification that the drilling mud components are the same as those components
identified on the approved application;
(I) verification that the chloride
concentration of the drilling waste is less than 10,000 parts per million
(ppm); and
(J) the following
information about the person performing the land-spreading, if different from
the operator:
(i) The name of the individual
or company;
(ii) the contact
person's name;
(iii) the contact
person's telephone number or cellular phone number, or both; and
(iv) the contact person's electronic mail
address, if there is one;
(2) for the area that was actually used for
land-spreading, an updated version of the cell identification map that was
submitted with the application. The updated map shall include all information
on the original cell identification map and the following information:
(A) The date or dates on which land-spreading
occurred;
(B) the land-spreading
contractor name;
(C) identification
of each well from which the drilling waste was generated;
(D) for each tank and each pit that was used
to store drilling waste, the area where that drilling waste was land-spread,
according to the following requirements:
(i)
The dimensions of the area used for land-spreading shall be added to the map,
if the area used for land-spreading is different from the cell boundaries, and
shall be based on either physical references and measurements or GPS
measurements, or both; and
(ii) the
tank and pit numbers shall correspond to the labels used in the land-spreading
worksheet; and
(E)
notation identifying the cells that were not used for land-spreading;
(3) a description of the
procedures that were used to sample the drilling waste and the sampling
rates;
(4) a description of the
methods that were used to analyze the drilling waste;
(5) the results of each analysis of the
drilling waste;
(6) the completed
land-spreading worksheet;
(7) for
each cell within the land-spreading site, the following information:
(A) The volume of drilling waste that was
spread on the cell; and
(B) a
description of the land-spreading procedures that were used, including the
following:
(i) Documentation of each
variation from the processes or equipment described in the approved
application;
(ii) a description of
each deviation from the operating and management requirements of K.A.R.
28-29-1607; and
(iii) if the
drilling waste was incorporated into the soil, a statement of the maximum time
period from land-spreading to incorporation; and
(8) if corrective measures were
required by the KCC or the department at the land-spreading site, the following
information:
(i) A description of the
conditions warranting the corrective measures;
(ii) a copy of the sampling and analysis
plan, if this plan was required;
(iii) the results of all sampling and
analyses that relate to the corrective measures;
(iv) a description of the corrective measures
implemented at the land-spreading site; and
(v) a description of all long-term site
monitoring or land-use restrictions associated with the site
conditions;
(b) within 12 months after the conclusion of
land-spreading, submit to the KCC a report describing the timing and success of
establishing vegetative cover or conditions suitable to support crops. If the
establishment of vegetative cover or conditions suitable to support crops was
unsuccessful, the operator shall submit a new plan describing how vegetative
cover or conditions suitable to support crops will be established. The operator
shall identify the report, plan, or both, by the KCC land-spreading approval
number from the approved application; and
(c) maintain the following documents,
identified by the KCC land-spreading approval number from the approved
application, for at least five years after the land-spreading occurs and make
the documents available to the department and the KCC, upon request:
(1) The results of all analyses;
(2) a copy of each application and
approval;
(3) a copy of each
land-spreading report and all required attachments; and
(4) if any drilling waste was analyzed in the
field, a copy of all calibration logs for each piece of equipment used and the
qualifications of each person that performed the analyses.
