There are areas in the state where drilling operations could unexpectedly encounter oil, gas, or hazardous substances at shallow depths. When the commission obtains sufficient evidence to define a specific area and the approximate depth range of the substances, it will issue an order that will present the evidence, define the area, and stipulate a drilling depth. After the issuance of such an order, any well drilled in the defined area, for any purpose, that exceeds the stipulated depth will require a drilling permit and may be subject to the other requirements of this chapter.
