Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 810.
(1) A
				  permittee of a Class II well not utilized for secondary recovery shall, on a
				  weekly basis, monitor and record the annulus pressure, injection pressure,
				  injection rate, and weekly cumulative volume of the fiuid injected.
(2) A permittee of a Class II well utilized
				  for secondary recovery injection well shall, on a monthly basis, monitor and
				  record the annulus pressure, injection pressure, injection rate, and monthly
				  cumulative volume of the fiuid injected. A permittee of a secondary recovery
				  injection well may conduct the monitoring and recording, required by this rule,
				  on a field or project basis by manifold monitoring, rather than on an
				  individual well basis, if more than 1 secondary recovery injection well
				  operates with a single manifold, and if the permittee demonstrates that
				  manifold monitoring is comparable to individual well monitoring.
(3) A permittee of an injection well not
				  utilized for secondary recovery shall report the data monthly to the
				  supervisor, unless the supervisor requires a lesser frequency, on forms
				  prescribed by the supervisor.
(4) A
				  permittee of a secondary recovery injection well shall report the monthly data
				  annually to the supervisor, on forms prescribed by the supervisor by March 1 of
				  each year for the previous year.
(5) In addition to other requirements within
				  this rule, a permittee of a Class II commercial disposal well shall submit a
				  complete list of sources of disposed fluids on a quarterly basis on a form
				  prescribed by the supervisor within 45 days of the end of each quarter. The
				  provisions of this subrule are effective only upon the date of
				  primacy.
(6) In addition to other
				  requirements within this rule, a permittee of a Class II commercial disposal
				  well shall submit information on any new source to the supervisor, and shall
				  obtain approval of the source from the supervisor or authorized representative
				  of the supervisor, prior to injection of fluids from that source. The
				  provisions of this subrule are effective only upon the date of
				  primacy.
(7) A permittee of a Class
				  II well shall file on a quarterly basis the fluid loss or gain in the
				  tubing-casing annulus on a form prescribed by the supervisor within 45 days of
				  the end of each quarter. Rule authorized wells are exempt from this
				  requirement. The provisions of this subrule are effective only upon the date of
				  primacy.
(8) The permittee of a
				  Class II well shall submit an annual chemical analysis of the injectate using
				  same analytes as R324.802(g)(iv) by March 1 of the following year, or more
				  frequently if there has been a change in sources or characteristics of the
				  injectate.
(9) The permittee shall
				  retain all records pertaining to a Class II injection well for a period of 5
				  years.
(10) The permittee of any
				  Class II well shall indicate on any submitted report observed noteworthy
				  anomalies or problems identified related to that data. The permittee shall
				  report exceedance of the Maximum Injection Pressure on injection monitoring
				  reports. The provisions of this subrule are effective only upon the date of
				  primacy.
