1.
Injection wells shall be completed, equipped, operated, and maintained in a
manner that will prevent pollution and damage to any USDW, or other resources
and will confine injected fluids to the interval approved.
2. The application for an injection well
shall include a properly completed UIC Form 1 and the following:
2.1. A plat showing the location of the
injection well, all abandoned or active wells within a one- half mile radius of
the proposed well, and the surface owner and the operator of any lands or
producing leases, respectively, within a one-half mile radius of the proposed
injection well.
2.2. Copies of
electrical or radioactive logs, including gamma ray logs, for the proposed well
run prior to the installation of casing and indicating resistivity, spontaneous
potential, caliper, and porosity.
2.3. A copy of a cement bond or comparable
log run for the proposed injection well after casing was set and
cemented.
2.4. Copies of logs
already on file with the division should be referenced, but need not be
refiled.
2.5. A description of the
casing or proposed casing program of the injection well and of the proposed
method for testing the casing before use of the well.
2.6. A statement as to the type of fluid to
be used for injection, its source and estimated amounts to be injected
daily.
2.7. Standard laboratory
analyses of:
2.7.1. The fluid to be
injected,
2.7.2. The fluid in the
formation into which the fluid is being injected, and
2.7.3. The compatibility of the
fluids.
2.8. The
proposed average and maximum injection pressures.
2.9. Evidence and data to support a finding
that the proposed injection well will not initiate fractures through the
overlying strata or a confining interval that could enable the injected fluid
or formation fluid to enter any fresh water strata.
2.10. Appropriate geological data on the
injection interval with confining beds clearly labeled,
2.10.1. Nearby Underground Sources of
Drinking Water, including the geologic formation name,
2.10.2. Lithologic descriptions, thicknesses,
depths, water quality, and lateral extent;
2.10.3. Information relative to geologic
structure near the proposed well that may effect the conveyance and/or storage
of the injected fluids.
2.11. A review of the mechanical condition of
each well within a one-half mile radius of the proposed injection well to
assure that no conduit exists that could enable fluids to migrate up or down
the wellbore and enter improper intervals.
2.12. An affidavit certifying that a copy of
the application has been provided to all operators, owners, and surface owners
within a one-half mile radius of the proposed injection well.
2.13. Any other additional information that
the board or division may determine is necessary to adequately review the
application.
3.
Applications for injection wells that are within a recovery project area will
be considered for approval:
3.1. Pursuant to
R649-5-1-3.
3.2. Subsequent to
board approval of a recovery project pursuant to R649-5-1-1.
4. Approval of an injection well
is subject to the requirements of
R649-5-4, if
the proposed injection interval can be classified as an USDW.
5. In addition to the requirements of this
section, the provisions of
R649-3-1,
R649-3-4,
R649-3-24,
R649-3-32, and
R649-8-1 and
R649-10 shall apply to all Class II injection wells.
