HB 1386 Summary

• Creates the Oklahoma Land Application Act requiring operators to use real-time computer-controlled discharge systems when applying deleterious substances to land sites.

• System must record discharge rate and vehicle speed, map property boundaries, and track all discharge areas with GPS in real time to prevent cumulative discharge from exceeding Commission-established parameters.

• Loading rates for waste applications shall be determined by pre-job testing of site soils in conjunction with waste characterization at time of application.

• Each land application site may only be used for deleterious substances from a single well; operators must submit proof of adequate soil capacity before applying to sites where water-based drilling fluids were previously applied.

• Effective date: November 1, 2015.
