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

78 of the 446 records for monitoring well/observation/piezometer in Marion County carry a plugging report (17.5%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 368 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 33 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

Who drilled them

368 of the 446 records in Marion 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.
