Or. Admin. R. 690-230-0070 - Well-Head Protection Equipment

Adequate well-head equipment to insure public safety and the protection of the groundwater resource shall be immediately installed on any low-temperature geothermal production well or low-temperature geothermal injection well when the temperature of the fluid being withdrawn from, being pumped from, or flowing from the well bore exceeds 65 degrees C (150 degrees F). A variance from the requirement for well-head protection equipment may be granted if a written request demonstrates that the equipment is not necessary to safely complete the well.
