1. In accordance with Section 40-6-16 any operator of a facility or plant in which liquefiable hydrocarbons are removed from natural gas, including wet gas or casinghead gas, and the remaining residue gas is conditioned for delivery for sale, recycling, or other use, shall file monthly, Form 13-A and Form 13-B.

R649-6-2. Waste Crude Oil Treatment Facilities.

1. Prior to the construction of a waste crude oil treatment facility, an application shall be submitted to the division describing the ownership, location, type, and capacity of the facility contemplated; the extent and location of the surface area to be disturbed, including any pit, pond, or land associated with the facility; and a reclamation plan for the site.
