Recovery fluid must be restricted to those production zones that have been classified by the department as an exempted aquifer within the area of production. If recovery fluids migrate outside the production zone or into aquifers above or below the production zone, the operator shall report, monitor, and remediate the excursion in accordance with sections 43-02-02.2-48 through 43-02-02.2-53. Recovery fluids are assumed to be present in an unauthorized zone if a verifying analysis confirms that a control parameter in a monitoring well is detected at a concentration equal to or greater than the upper limit value.
