312 IAC 29-4-8 - Permit modification; amendment
Authority: IC 14-10-2-4; IC 14-37-3
Affected: IC 4-21.5; IC 14-37
Sec. 8.
(a) The
division may require modification of a permit for a well for oil and gas
purposes for any of the following causes:
(1)
The person controlling the well for oil and gas purposes requests or agrees to
a modification.
(2) There are
material and substantial alterations or additions to the permitted facility or
activity that occurred after permit issuance justifying the modification of the
original permit.
(3) The department
has received information that the cumulative effects on the environment
resulting from the permitted well are unacceptable.
(4) IC 14-37 or this article is changed by
amendment or by a change in the law that formed the basis for the approval of
the permit application.
(5) The
division director determines good cause exists for the modification of a
compliance schedule as a result of events over which the person controlling the
well for oil and gas purposes has little or no control and for which no other
remedy is practicable.
(6) Good
cause exists for the revocation of a permit under
312 IAC 29-34, but the division
director finds that a modification is appropriate to fulfill the purposes of IC
14-37.
(b) A person
controlling the well for oil and gas purposes may, before drilling is
commenced, file an amended permit application, with the original permit
attached, seeking to change a well location. The division may issue an amended
permit if the modified well placement:
(1)
would be located on the original lease;
(2) does not affect a person who would have
been entitled to notification had the modified location been included in the
original permit application, but who was not notified of the original
application; and
(3) does not
significantly change how a person entitled to notification would be
affected.
(c) The
division shall issue notice of its decision to approve or deny a permit
modification application in accordance with
312 IAC 29-3-5.
(d) The decision to approve or deny a permit
modification application is subject to IC 4-21.5.
