All water produced with oil and gas shall be disposed of by injection in a permitted disposal or enhanced recovery well, by evaporation in an approved pit, or by discharge into a surface water source through an outfall permitted under chapter 74:52:01. Produced water must be disposed of without pollution of waters of the state. Dumping of produced water on roads is prohibited, unless permitted by the secretary for dust suppression. Produced water blown from a gas well must be contained in lined pits or surface tanks and may not be allowed to freely blow into the atmosphere or surrounding environment, unless the secretary determines that the discharge will cause no environmental degradation and approves the discharge.
