Section 74:12:07:09 - Minor modifications

The secretary, with the consent of the owner or operator of the injection well, may modify a permit to inject to make corrections or allowances to the permit, if the corrections or allowances are listed in this section and will not threaten or degrade freshwater resources. Such modifications are:

(1) Correction of typographical errors and language changes that have no legal or substantive effect;

(2) A requirement for more frequent monitoring or reporting by the permittee;

(3) A change in ownership or operational control of a well if the secretary determines that no other change in the permit is necessary, provided a written agreement containing a specific date for transfer of responsibility for the injection well, coverage, and liability between the current and new owner or operator has been submitted to the secretary pursuant to § 74:12:07:06;

(4) A change in quantities or types of fluids injected which are within the capacity of the injection well as permitted and, in the judgment of the secretary, would not interfere with the operation of the injection well or its ability to meet conditions described in the permit and would not change its classification;

(5) A change in construction requirements approved by the secretary pursuant to this chapter if the alteration complies with the conditions of the permit to inject and this section;

(6) Amendment of a plugging and abandonment plan which has been updated pursuant to this article.

(7) Recementing, reworking, or reconditioning a well; and

(8) Deepening, extending, or sidetracking an existing well within the permitted injection horizon.
