This is a well in Roanel county drilled in 1964 to be a production well and was later converted to be a non-commercial injection well.
Well drilled in 1964 for production, converted in ? for injection.
Formation into which waste is injected -- Big Injun [production formations Big Lime and Big Injun]
Geographic location: latitude 38.759355, longitude -81.26243
Major issue
- The permit expired in 2002 and was not renewed until 2004. During the time that there was not a permit the operator reported monthly injection. Injection without a permit is a major violation. None was issued by the agency.
- The well has been abandoned since the previous permit expired in 2014. State law requires speedy plugging or a special applied for exemption. No exemption was applied for.
