[Ord. No. 29, eff. 12-17-1985; amended by Ord. No. 34, 11-18-1986; amended by Ord. No. 35, 12-16-1986; amended by Ord. No. 36, 2-17-1987; amended by Ord. No. 29, 5-21-1991 as amended 11-19-1996 (repealing Ord. No. 34, 35, and 36); as amended 8-18-2015 by Ord. No. 29 §8]
A. 
No person shall drill an original well to be used for enhanced recovery, injection, or disposal of saltwater or other deleterious substances, or a service well; or re-enter an existing well for these same purposes, without first obtaining the necessary permit therefore. Such permit shall consist of two separate parts:
1. 
Permit to drill or re-enter; and
2. 
Permit to operate.
B. 
The town recognizes the vital importance of water for each and every household within the town’s incorporated limits. The Corporation Commission’s rules provide that no commercial disposal well shall be allowed within the “Wellhead Protection Area” as defined by USC §300h-7 (which provides for public water systems). Oklahoma’s Wellhead Protection program is to minimize the risk of pollution by limiting activities on the land around public water supply wells. Currently, Slaughterville does not have a municipal public water supply. Residents receive water from individual private water wells. Therefore, the town recognizes the vital importance and need of keeping all disposal wells away from all water sources, whether private or public in nature.
C. 
An application for the permit to drill or re-enter a well for enhanced recovery, injection, or substance disposal, or a service well shall be in the same form as that required for a permit to drill an original well, as provided for in §11-301, and shall contain complete information as may be required by the oil and gas inspector and including the following:
1. 
If the application is for a permit to drill or re-enter a well for substance disposal, applicant must state whether the well will be used for commercial purposes. No permit to operate or permit to drill or reenter any substance disposal well shall be allowed within a distance of 2,640 feet (1/2 mile) radius from any water well. A lesser distance may be allowed if written consent is received from 75% of the property owners within 2,640 feet (1/2 mile) radius of the proposed disposal well.
2. 
A block map by a certified surveyor drawn to scale of the well site showing all equipment to be used thereon, location of pipelines, access roads, and distances from the well to any and all fences, public roadways, right-of-ways, platted subdivisions, dwelling-houses, buildings, or other structures designed for the occupancy of human beings or animals, within 660 feet of any such well, the location of all public roads, right-of-ways, and the location of all existing oil, gas or fresh water wells within said forty acre tract
3. 
A block map by a certified surveyor of the project drawn to scale, showing the location of:
a) 
Each and every water supply well within a 1/2 mile radius (2,640 feet) of each injection or disposal well (included with the application shall be a list of each property owner’s name and mailing address);
b) 
All water supply wells, disposal wells, injection wells, producing wells and plugged and abandoned wells within the project area and those sections immediately adjacent;
c) 
All conduits; and
d) 
Tank battery, pumping station and appurtenant equipment.
4. 
All wells within the project area and those sections immediately adjacent shall be indicated by status (e.g., plugged and abandoned, injection, saltwater, oil, etc.), and show the following additional information:
a) 
Footage location (surface casing);
b) 
Derrick floor and ground level elevation;
c) 
Drilled total depth;
d) 
Packer body total depth;
e) 
Size, depth and quality of surface and production casing, including zones from which casing has been removed;
f) 
Location of all plugs, packers, cement plugs, tubing anchors, etc., with the well bore;
g) 
Depth and nature of all cement squeeze jobs;
h) 
Formation name and depth of all open perforations in a producing open hole;
i) 
Volume and type of cement used on surface and production strings; and
j) 
Top of cement.
5. 
One copy of all electric, mechanical, sample and driller's logs.
6. 
Operation name for each well.
7. 
One copy of all cement bond logs and production logs.
8. 
One copy of all work performed on the well.
9. 
Copies of all information supplied to the corporation commission, and said commission's approval of the project.
D. 
Upon the completion of the application required hereunder, the oil and gas inspector shall have 30 business days to review same and make a recommendation of approval or disapproval to the mayor and the board of trustees.
Where the application is one for the re-entry of an abandoned or plugged well, said application shall contain all the information required by §11-302B above; in addition to all other required information, the following shall be provided:
A. 
A statement of:
1. 
The then-condition of the well.
2. 
The depth to which it is proposed such well shall be deepened.
3. 
The proposed casing program to be used in connection with the proposed deepening; and
B. 
Evidence of adequate current tests showing that the casing strings currently passed the same tests that are required in the case of the drilling of an original well.
Where the application is one for the deepening an existing well, such permits shall be issued by the town without the necessity of approval by the board of trustees. Said operating permits shall be issued only after bringing the well into compliance with the provisions of this ordinance and all provisions of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission are met.

A. 
Prior to placing any enhanced recovery, injection, substance disposal well, or service well into operation, a permit to operate such well shall be obtained from the town. Every application for a permit to operate such well shall contain the following information:
1. 
All the information required in §11-302B above; and
2. 
Depth to static water level (hydrostatic head). Such data shall be obtained by means of a method approved by the oil and gas inspector. Such data shall be obtained not less than 48 hours after openings have been made through the casing into the injection disposal zone or zones.
B. 
Copies of applicable corporation commission forms indicating successful pressure testing of each injection well or substance disposal well at a pressure greater than the maximum proposed for the project, or if no such forms have been filed and approved, then sufficient evidence of the successful pressure testing of each injection well.
C. 
Domestic and public water supply wells located within a radius of 1/2 of a mile of any enhanced recovery, injection, disposal well, service well, shall be tested prior to beginning injection or disposal and thereafter semi-annually for the presence of deleterious substances, such as chlorides, sulfates and dissolved solids. Such testing is the responsibility of the permittee and at permittee's sole expense, and shall be conducted by a person approved by the oil and gas inspector. Said oil and gas inspector shall be notified five days in advance of such testing and may be present during testing. Test results shall be filed with the town upon completion.
