§ 47-177.2. License and permit for transporting deleterious

substances - Proof of access to approved disposal well - List of

permits - Fees - Provisions supplemental to other applicable motor

carrier laws.

A. No motor carrier shall engage in the business of

transporting any salt water, mineral brines, waste oil and other

deleterious substances produced from or obtained or used in

connection with the drilling, development, producing and operating

of oil and gas wells and brine wells, for any valuable consideration

whatever, or in any quantity over twenty (20) gallons, without a

license authorizing such operation and a deleterious substance

transport permit to be issued by the Commission. Provided,

transportation of such substances by private carrier of property by

motor vehicle shall require a deleterious substance transport

permit.

B. No carrier shall transport deleterious substances under a

carrier license issued by the Commission until such time as the

carrier has been issued a deleterious substance transport permit.

C. No deleterious substance transport permit shall be issued to

a motor carrier or private carrier until the carrier has furnished

written proof of access to a Class II disposal well or wells. Said

written proof of access shall be provided by the owner of such

disposal well. Such disposal well must first be approved by the

Corporation Commission as adequate to meet the need for proper

disposal of all substances which the applicant may reasonably be

expected to transport as a motor carrier or private carrier.

Provided that nothing in this section shall be construed as

prohibiting the disposition of such deleterious substances in a

disposal well that is owned by a person other than the transporter.

D. The Commission shall maintain a current list of such

permits. The Commission shall charge such annual deleterious

substance transport permitting fees as will cover the cost of

issuing such licenses and an annual fee of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars

($250.00) for each such deleterious substance transport license.

Proceeds from the fees shall be deposited by the Commission in the

State Treasury to the credit of the Corporation Commission Revolving

Fund. The provisions of this section are supplemental and are in

addition to the laws applicable to motor carriers.
