Oil & Gas
IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Our purpose is to implement the state oil and gas laws in a timely, efficient, and customer service oriented manner that will encourage exploration for and development of oil and gas; prevent waste; and protect correlative rights, water resources, the environment, and human health.

Oil & Gas Forms

The following forms/applications are all available for downloading as either a fillable PDF or a PDF that can be completed by hand:

  • Downloadable forms are available in a PDF format and may be printed out and completed by hand.

IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended that fillable PDF forms be downloaded to your computer and completed using Adobe Reader.

Underground Injection Control - Class II

Permit to Inject Class II Fluids
A permit to inject is required for any underground injection for the purpose of enhanced oil recovery or the disposal of exploration and production wastes. This activity is regulated under SDCL 45-9 and the Administrative Rule of South Dakota article 74:12.

Aquifer Exemptions
An aquifer exemption is a designated portion of an underground freshwater resource that has been exempted from the requirements of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. By rule (ARSD 74:12:07:24), for a portion of an underground freshwater resource to be exempted it must not currently serve as a source of drinking water, it must have a total dissolved solids content between 3,000 and 10,000 mg/L, and it cannot now and will not in the future serve as a source of drinking water for any of the following reasons

  • It produces hydrocarbons;
  • It is situated at a depth or location which makes recovery of water for drinking water purposes economically or technologically impractical; or
  • It is so contaminated it would be economically or technologically impractical to render the water fit for human consumption

Although DENR has primary enforcement authority over Class II injection wells in South Dakota, all aquifer exemptions must receive approval from EPA because the exemption applies to the requirements of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.

For Underground Injection Control Class II specific information, please contact Jeff Klenner or Lucy Blocker at 605-773-4201 or by email at Jeff.Klenner at state.sd.us or Lucy.Blocker at state.sd.us.
