a well drilled to clean up contamination, not to produce water. Its presence says something about the site’s history.

The oldest record here was completed in 1979 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 59 feet — a environmental remediation, air sparge well drilled by Kelly's Water Well Service, INC in 1979.

Plugging records — for environmental remediation, air sparge in Barton County

152 of the 353 records for environmental remediation, air sparge in Barton County carry a plugging report (43.1%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 201 do not.

That is not a list of abandoned wells, and this site never calls them that. Kansas defines abandonment by use — a well unused for two years — and nothing in this register tracks use. What the absence of a plugging report does mean is that the State has never been told the well was sealed. On the 10 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

Who drilled them

An unplugged well on land in Barton County?

201 of the 353 records in Barton County have no plugging report on file. If a well on your land is no longer used, Kansas requires it to be plugged and the duty falls on the landowner — with cost-share of up to USD 1,000 per well through the Kansas Department of Agriculture. This site reads the register; it does not drill and it does not plug. Tell us where and we pass the request to licensed Kansas well contractors.
