Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) The rules of this Subchapter shall not be
				  construed as modifying the rights, obligations, or duties of any person under
				  any law of this State or under any order, rule, or regulation of the Oklahoma
				  Water Resources Board, State Department of Health, Oklahoma Wildlife
				  Conservation Commission, State Board of Agriculture, Department of
				  Environmental Quality, or any other agency of this State with respect to the
				  pollution of fresh water.
(b)
				  Whenever a written complaint against any person is filed with the Commission
				  alleging pollution as prohibited by
				  165:10-7-5,
				  the Manager of Pollution Abatement shall immediately initiate such action as
				  may be necessary or appropriate to abate the pollution.
(c) OPERATORS TAKE NOTE: Federal statutes,
				  such as the Bald Eagle Protection Act (
				  16 U.S.C. Sections
				  668 -
				  668d
				  ), the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (
				  16 U.S.C.
				  Sections 703 -
				  711

				  U.S.C. Sections 3371 -
				  3378 ),
				  dictate substantial fines and penalties for persons who allow birds of certain
				  species to become fatally injured due to incidental contact with oil or oil
				  by-products. These fines may be levied upon persons allowing such fatalities to
				  occur, whether accidental or not. Misdemeanor and felony convictions may
				  include imprisonment. Information on affected bird species, regulations under
				  these Acts, and measures which can be taken to prevent such occurrences, such
				  as the netting or covering of open-topped tanks and pits which contain oil or
				  oil by-products, can be obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office
				  in Oklahoma City or the nearest Oklahoma Department of Wildlife
				  Office.
(d)
Operators
				  drilling in the Arbuckle-Simpson Aquifer.
The Arbuckle-Simpson Aquifer
				  located in Pontotoc, Murray, and Johnston Counties has unique and unusual
				  hydrogeologic conditions. Any operator intending to drill in this area should
				  contact the Technical Services Department of the Oil and Gas Conservation
				  Division prior to filing an intent-to-drill. The Technical Services Department
				  may request a technical meeting prior to approval of an intent-to-drill to
				  determine if additional protection of this aquifer is necessary.
