Plugging records — for heat pump (closed loop/disposal), geothermal in Sedgwick County

0 of the 189 records for heat pump (closed loop/disposal), geothermal in Sedgwick County carry a plugging report (0.0%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 189 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 63 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

189 of the 189 records in Sedgwick 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.
