§47-177.2.
§47-177.2.
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.
