Ala. Admin. Code r. 400-6-11-.02
A storage operator may request that a storage well and the storage cavity be placed in a shut-in status for a period of one (1) year by submitting a written statement to the Supervisor if the storage well and the storage cavity are capable of safely storing gas but must remain shut-in until connected to permanent facilities, or for some other reason. Upon approval of the request by the Supervisor, the storage well and the storage cavity will be placed in a shut-in status for a period of one (1) year. The storage well and the storage cavity may be classified as shut-in upon receipt of a written request to the Supervisor identifying the reason (s) why the storage well and storage cavity is shut-in and the date that storage operations are expected to begin. The Board may grant a request for continuation of this shut-in status beyond the approved one (1) year if justified by the storage operator in writing. The Supervisor may require shut-in procedures other than those proposed by the storage operator.
