Section 43-02-02.2-46 - Subsidence monitoring

Subsidence must be controlled to ensure that the values and uses of the aquifers and the surface resources will not be degraded. If the injection wells penetrate an aquifer in an area subject to subsidence or catastrophic collapse, an adequate number of monitoring wells must be completed into that aquifer to detect any movement of injected fluids. The monitoring wells must be located outside the physical influence of the subsidence or collapse.
