Environmental Remediation, Air Sparge

4,767 of the 314,779 WWC-5 records in Kansas — 1.5%.

What this use means

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

Where they are

What stands out for environmental remediation, air sparge

The busiest contractor on these records is Geocore Services INC, named on 621 of them (13.0%), ahead of Coranco Great Plains, INC (426) and Jay C. Woofter Pump & Well, INC (354). The oldest record here was completed in 1979 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 205 feet — a environmental remediation, air sparge well drilled by Bluestem Environmental Engineering, INC in 2009.

Plugging records — for environmental remediation, air sparge

1,933 of the 4,767 records for environmental remediation, air sparge carry a plugging report (40.5%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 2,834 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 73 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

Who drills them

An unplugged well on land in Kansas?

2,834 of the 4,767 records in Kansas 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.

We recommend no contractor and we are nobody's agent. We have no arrangement with any firm today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
