What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Associated Environmental, INC, named on 45 of them (23.3%), ahead of Larsen and Associates, INC (37) and Geotechnical Services, INC (19). The oldest record here was completed in 1989 and the most recent in 2021, and the deepest well on file reaches 98 feet — a monitoring well/observation/piezometer well drilled by Layne-christensen CO in 1993.

Plugging records — for monitoring well/observation/piezometer in Greenwood County

68 of the 193 records for monitoring well/observation/piezometer in Greenwood County carry a plugging report (35.2%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 125 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 6 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 Greenwood County?

125 of the 193 records in Greenwood 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.
