Latest version.

For abandonment of a thermal gradient or an observational well, the following provisions apply:

     1. If the well was drilled with air and no water was encountered, the hole must be backfilled with cuttings and a cement plug 50 feet long must be placed at the top of the well.

     2. If the well was drilled with mud, the bore must be filled with mud, and a cement plug of 50 lineal feet must be placed at the top of the well.

     3. The surface must be restored as near as practicable to its original condition.
