Section 38-13-4 - Permit by Rule

The owner or operator of an injection well disposing of hazardous waste from the exploration, development, production, storage and recovery of oil and gas and related mineral resources in this state, shall be deemed to have a hazardous waste management permit for that facility from the Division, if the owner or operator:

(1) Has a UIC permit for underground injection issued pursuant to Series 3 of the rules of the Department of Energy, Division of Oil and Gas; and

(2) Complies with the regulatory and permitting requirements set forth in Series 1 of the rules of the Department of Energy, Division of Oil and Gas.

Nothing in this section shall relieve an owner or operator of such a well of any obligation to apply for and receive appropriate authorizations from other agencies for such well, if the well receives waste from sources other than those associated with the exploration, development, production, storage and recovery of oil and gas and related mineral resources in this state.
