Section 3285 - Sensitive receptor inventory and map requirements; availability on website(a) Every operator shall submit to the division by July 1, 2025, a sensitive receptor inventory and map that includes the following:(1) A list of all sensitive receptors within 3,200 feet of an operator's wellheads and production facilities by field. For each sensitive receptor listed, the operator shall provide all of the following:(A) The distance from the sensitive receptor to each wellhead or production facility that is located within 3,200 feet of that specific receptor. The well shall be identified by API number, and the production facility shall also be explicitly identified. Latitude and longitude shall also be provided for the wellhead and production facility.(B) The type of sensitive receptor.(C) A map showing each sensitive receptor's location in relation to the operator's wellheads and production facilities.(2) A statement from each operator based on their sensitive receptor inventory that provides the operator's determination as to whether their wellheads and production facilities are located within 3,200 feet of a sensitive receptor. An operator who has identified sufficient sensitive receptors such that their entire operation is located within a health protection zone may cease adding new sensitive receptors to their inventory and make a determination that all of their wellheads and production facilities are located within a health protection zone.(b) By July 1 of each year, all operators shall submit to the division a sensitive receptor inventory and map pursuant to subdivision (a) that is up to date, with information no more than 90 days old, and shall make a new determination regarding the location of each of their wellheads and production facilities within a health protection zone. If there have been no changes to the location of sensitive receptors in the 3,200 feet surrounding the operator's wellheads and production facilities, the operator shall submit a statement that no changes to the determination are needed.(c) The division shall review for completeness and accuracy no less than 30 percent of the inventories and associated maps submitted annually pursuant to this section. The division shall notify operators of any discrepancies in the submitted inventories and maps as determined by the division.(d) The division shall make available to the public on its internet website all current sensitive receptor inventories and maps.Ca.
