20 AAC 25.075 - Other wells in designated areas
There are areas in the state where drilling operations could unexpectedly encounter oil, gas, or hazardous substances at shallow depths. When the commission obtains sufficient evidence to define a specific area and the approximate depth range of the substances, it will issue an order that will present the evidence, define the area, and stipulate a drilling depth. After the issuance of such an order, any well drilled in the defined area, for any purpose, that exceeds the stipulated depth will require a drilling permit and may be subject to the other requirements of this chapter.
