			 unit upon which the well is to be drilled and property lines with surface and
			 mineral owner name(s) within;
(b)
			 The location of the proposed well on the subject tract of land or drilling unit
			 established by a field survey showing the distances in feet from the proposed
			 well site to the boundary lines of the subject tract or drilling unit, and to
			 the nearest permanent geographic subdivision boundaries.
The proposed well location also shall be designated by plane
				coordinates as provided by Chapter 157. of the Revised Code (Ohio coordinate
				system. Indicate if the coordinates are NAD 27 or NAD 83.) Coordinates may be
				established by map scale to the nearest fifty feet or by GPS;
(c) Location of drilling or producing wells,
			 which are within the distances required according to depth of drilling as set
			 forth in rule
			 1501:9-1-04
			 of the Administrative Code, and a showing of the distances between such
			 drilling or producing wells and the proposed well;
(d) The location of all buildings, public
			 roads, railroads and streams within two hundred feet of the proposed well site,
			 and their distances from the proposed well site;
(e) A title block to the map certifying the
			 above information and including the applicants name, well name, county, civil
			 township, permanent geographic subdivisions (section, lot and/or tract) and
			 surface elevation for the well location, USGS quadrangle name, date map

			 the Administrative Code, including at least the following:
(a) The name and anticipated depth of all
			 zones to be tested or produced;
(b)
			 The estimated total depth of the wellbore;
(c) The anticipated diameter of each wellbore
			 segment;
(d) The proposed casing
			 type, outside diameter, and setting depth for each proposed casing
			 string;
(e) Proposed cement volumes
			 for each casing string; and
(f)
			 Whether the owner plans to stimulate any permitted hydrocarbon zone by
			 hydraulic fracturing.
