Statute overview

About this statute

The Legislature states that increased requests to take water from state streams, especially for electric energy, may harm streamflows and dependent fish and wildlife resources. The Director of Fish and Game must identify and list state streams and watercourses that need minimum flow levels, include significant ones with findings, rank them by need, and finish the initial list by January 1, 1984. The Director of Fish and Game must prepare proposed streamflow requirements for each identified stream or watercourse and send them to the State Water Resources Control Board. The Director of Fish and Game may review any streamflow requirement and may propose changes, and any proposed change must be sent to the State Water Resources Control Board. The Department of Fish and Game must start studies to develop proposed streamflow requirements, and finish each study within three years.

Lower Cost Coastal Accommodations Program [31411 - 31414] ( Chapter 10 added by Stats. 2017, Ch. 838, Sec. 3. ) ## 31411. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) The right of access to the coast is guaranteed to the people of California by the California Constitution and the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000)), which requires that coastal development be regulated, and public access rights to our state’s beaches be protected. (b) California’s Parks Forward Commission has emphasized the need to expand access to parks and public lands throughout California to ensure that all Californians and visitors to the state, including those from low-income and underserved communities, are able to benefit from outdoor experiences. (c) Lower cost accommodations, including hotels, motels, hostels, cabins, and camping opportunities, are essential elements of coastal and park access because they enable Californians and visitors from a variety of backgrounds, including those of low and moderate income, to enjoy California’s beaches and parks and experience the full range of recreational, educational, spiritual, and other experiences offered. (d) A lack of affordable accommodations remains a barrier to coastal access. California’s historic supply of lower cost coastal accommodations has been reduced, and continues to be diminished, as a result of high coastal property values and economic pressures to develop new coastal accommodations that are too expensive to be affordable to most visitors. (e) California should invest in new strategies and partnerships to improve the availability of lower cost accommodations along the coast, particularly for low-income and middle-income families. A strategic program to provide affordable accommodations in appropriate areas of our coastal parks and public lands can play an important role in improving public access to the coast. California should also support innovative pilot projects that enable the state to partner with nonprofit organizations and the private sector in order to provide coastal access.

(a) Notwithstanding Sections 3204 and 3205, a person who engages in the drilling, redrilling, or deepening, or in any operation permanently altering the casing, of one or more wells located on submerged lands under ocean waters within the jurisdiction of this state, shall file with the supervisor a blanket indemnity bond for one million dollars ($1,000,000) to cover all his or her operations in drilling, redrilling, deepening, or permanently altering the casing in any of his or her wells located on those submerged lands. The bond shall be executed by the person, as principal, and by an authorized surety company, as surety, and the conditions of the bond shall be the same as the conditions stated in Section 3204, except for the difference in the amount. (b) In addition to providing the bond required by subdivision (a), a person who operates one or more wells that are located on tide or submerged lands within the jurisdiction of this state shall provide an additional amount of security acceptable to the supervisor, covering the full costs of plugging and abandoning all of the operator’s wells. The supervisor shall determine the amount of the security required of each operator, based on his or her determination of the reasonable costs of that plugging and abandonment, after providing the operator with an opportunity to submit a cost estimate for consideration by the supervisor. The supervisor may not adjust the amount of security required of each operator more frequently than once every three years, to reflect changes in those costs. An operator may self-insure this security obligation if the supervisor, at his or her discretion, determines that the operator has sufficient financial resources to plug and abandon the wells for which the operator is responsible. The security shall remain in effect until all wells are plugged and abandoned in accordance with Section 3208, but the supervisor shall reduce the amount of the security required of an operator to reflect reduced obligations as wells are plugged and abandoned. (c) If the state lease or other agreement that sets forth obligations or performance requirements under the lease provides security that is equal to, or greater than, the total of the additional security required pursuant to subdivision (b), plus all other liabilities under the lease or other agreement, the supervisor shall not require the additional security.

(a) The division may require an operator filing an individual indemnity bond pursuant to Section 3204 or a blanket indemnity bond pursuant to Section 3205, as applicable, to provide an additional amount of security acceptable to the division based on the division’s evaluation of the risk that the operator will desert its well or wells and the potential threats the operator’s well or wells pose to life, health, property, and natural resources. The additional security required by the division shall not exceed the lesser of the division’s estimation of the reasonable costs of properly plugging and abandoning all of the operator’s wells and decommissioning any attendant production facilities in accordance with Section 3208, or thirty million dollars ($30,000,000). (b) When making an estimation under this section of the reasonable costs of properly plugging and abandoning an operator’s well or wells and decommissioning any attendant production facilities, the division shall provide the operator with an opportunity to submit the operator’s own estimation and shall consider all of the following: (1) The depth of the well or wells. (2) The accessibility and surroundings of the well or wells and any attendant production facilities. (3) Available information about the condition of the well or wells and any attendant production facilities. (4) Available information about the cost to plug and abandon a comparable well or wells. (5) Available information about the cost to decommission production facilities comparable to the production facilities attendant to the well or wells. (6) The operator’s cost estimates, if provided. (7) Whether the operator is a public utility gas corporation, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 216 of the Public Utilities Code. (8) Any other information that the division determines to be relevant to the estimation of cost. (c) The division, in evaluating the risk that the operator will desert its well or wells and the potential threats the operator’s well or wells pose to life, health, property, and natural resources, shall consider all of the following: (1) The difference between the estimation of reasonable costs of plugging and abandonment under subdivisions (a) and (b) and the total amount of indemnity bonds or other financial assurances in place to ensure funding of the plugging and abandonment of the operator’s well or wells. (2) The level of current production from the well or wells. (3) Available information regarding estimated reserves remaining in place associated with the well or wells. (4) Whether the well or wells are “critical,” are “environmentally sensitive,” or are in an “urban area,” as those terms are defined by the division in regulation. (5) To the extent that relevant information is available to the division, the financial status of the operator and the operator’s financial capacity to plug and abandon all of the operator’s wells. (6) The past record of compliance by the operator with the division. (7) The number of idle wells to be covered by the indemnity bond and the operator’s record of compliance with the requirements of Section 3206 and the division’s regulations related to the management of idle wells. (8) Whether the operator’s well or wells are subject to any bonding or financial assurance requirements by a local government. (9) Whether the operator’s well or wells are already subject to additional bond coverage by the division pursuant to Section 3270.4. (10) Any other information that the division determines to be relevant to the evaluation of the risk. (d) The division shall provide the operator with notice of the requirement to provide additional security, and the notice shall be served by personal service or certified mail. The operator shall provide the additional security within 180 days of service of notice. The notice shall include an explanation of the division’s estimation of the reasonable costs to plug and abandon the operator’s well or wells and of the basis for the decision to require the operator to provide additional security. The requirements of this subdivision shall also apply to any subsequent increase in the amount of additional security required under subdivision (e). (e) The division shall increase or decrease the amount of additional security required under this section to account for changed circumstances or new information. The operator may, at any time, petition the division to reevaluate the division’s evaluation of the risk or cost estimates, and the division shall respond to the petition in writing within 60 days of receipt of the petition. (f) (1) An operator shall provide additional security required under this section in the form of an indemnity bond, a form of deposit described in Section 995.710 of the Code of Civil Procedure, or any other equally effective means of financial assurance approved by the division. Examples of equally effective means of financial assurance that the division may consider for approval include a letter of credit, a corporate guarantee, a trust fund, or a demonstration of self-insurance. (2) The division may only approve self-insurance as an equally effective means of financial assurance if the operator provides detailed financial information demonstrating to the division’s satisfaction that, based on the considerations under subdivision (c), the risks associated with the operator’s potential for desertion of its well or wells are low. If the division approves self-insurance as an equally effective means of financial assurance, at least once every five years the operator shall update the supporting financial information and the division shall reevaluate whether self-insurance continues to be an equally effective means of financial assurance. If an operator provides financial information to the division under this section that is not otherwise publicly available, the division shall maintain the information as confidential. (g) (1) Any two or more operators may elect to enter into a liability sharing agreement. (2) Operators that elect to participate in a liability sharing agreement shall be jointly and severally liable for all amounts owed under this chapter by all other operators that participate in the liability sharing agreement. (3) The division shall treat all operators that participate in a liability sharing agreement as a single operator when requiring additional security under this section, except that the additional security required by the division shall not exceed the lesser of the division’s estimation of the reasonable costs of plugging and abandoning all of the participating operators’ wells and decommissioning any attendant production facilities in accordance with Section 3208, or thirty million dollars ($30,000,000). (4) A liability sharing agreement is formed when all of the participants have provided the division written notice of intent to participate in the liability sharing agreement with express acknowledgment of all other participants in the agreement. (5) An operator may elect to withdraw from a liability sharing agreement at any time, but all participants in the liability sharing agreement, including the withdrawing participant, shall continue to be jointly and severally liable for all amounts owed under this chapter for a period of five years after the withdrawal.

(a) (1) Commencing July 1, 2022, the division shall begin requiring each operator of an oil or gas well to submit a report to the supervisor that demonstrates the operator’s total liability to plug and abandon all wells and to decommission all attendant production facilities, including any needed site remediation, pursuant to Section 3208 and Article 4.2 (commencing with Section 3250), as applicable, on a schedule determined by the supervisor. (2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the supervisor shall set the schedule in a manner that staggers the initial reports by operators to ensure that some reporting commences on July 1, 2022, that at least one-half of required operators will have submitted their initial report by July 1, 2024, that all initial reporting is completed by July 1, 2026, and that followup reporting is required for each operator on a continual basis that is no less frequent than every five years after the initial report. (b) The division shall develop criteria to be used by operators for estimating costs to plug and abandon wells and decommission attendant production facilities, including site remediation. The criteria shall include, but not be limited to, all of the following requirements: (1) Operators shall calculate the estimated cost to plug and abandon each well and decommission attendant production facilities of the operator using the criteria developed by the division pursuant to this subdivision. (2) For the site of each well, attendant production facility, or lease, the operator shall calculate the estimated cost of full site remediation using criteria developed by the division pursuant to this subdivision. (3) Calculations of estimated costs under this subdivision shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. (c) In preparing each report for the supervisor pursuant to subdivision (a), the operator shall do both of the following: (1) Calculate cost estimates to plug and abandon wells and decommission attendant production facilities, including site remediation, using the criteria developed by the division pursuant to subdivision (b). (2) Exclude from each initial report due on or before July 1, 2026, all offshore wells and facilities of the operator evaluated pursuant to Section 3205.6. Include in each followup report due after July 1, 2026, all offshore wells and facilities of the operator. (d) If the supervisor determines that the operator has failed to use the requisite criteria or has otherwise provided estimates in the report that are neither credible nor accurate, the supervisor may request the operator to submit revised estimates for review and approval on a timely schedule to be determined by the supervisor. Failure to comply with this requirement or a request pursuant to this section is a violation of this chapter and is subject to any penalty provided by law, including, but not limited to, Sections 3236 and 3236.5.

(a) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a person who acquires the right to operate a well or production facility, by purchase, transfer, assignment, conveyance, exchange, or other disposition, except a well that has an average daily production level that exceeds 15 barrels of oil or 60,000 cubic feet of natural gas during the 12 months preceding the date of acquisition or a natural gas storage well, shall, as soon as possible, but not later than the date when the acquisition of the well or production facility becomes final, file with the supervisor an individual indemnity bond for the well or production facility, or a blanket indemnity bond for multiple wells or production facilities, in an amount determined by the supervisor to be sufficient to cover, in full, all costs of plugging and abandonment, decommissioning of the facility, and site restoration pursuant to Section 3208 and regulations implementing this chapter. (2) A person who acquires the right to operate more than one well or production facility, by purchase, transfer, assignment, conveyance, exchange, or other disposition, or who operates more than one well or production facility may file with the supervisor one blanket indemnity bond to cover all the operations in any of its wells in the state in lieu of an individual indemnity bond for each operation.

(c) The supervisor shall determine the amount of an individual indemnity bond required pursuant to subdivision (a) based on the supervisor’s determination of the full costs of plugging and abandonment, decommissioning the facility, and site restoration using any reasonable method, including, but not limited to, consideration of the factors listed in subdivision (b) of Section 3205.3, or the cost estimation criteria described in subdivision (b) of Section 3205.7, or consultation with a contractor to obtain an estimate of the cost to plug and abandon the wells, decommission the facility, and complete site restoration. The supervisor shall determine the amount of a blanket indemnity bond required pursuant to subdivision (a) based on the sum total of combining the costs from the same determinations as individual indemnity bonds for each well or production facility covered by the blanket indemnity bond. (d) In lieu of the bond required to be provided pursuant to subdivision (a), the operator may, with the written approval of the supervisor, provide the required security through an equally effective means of financial assurance, which includes a deposit pursuant to Section 3205.5, an irrevocable letter of credit, or a fully funded trust fund, but does not include self-insurance or corporate guarantees. The required financial assurance may be obtained or funded by the transferor of the covered well. (e) The department shall post on its internet website the information on all indemnity bond determinations made by the supervisor, and shall include for each determination the bond amount and calculations used.

(a) No later than May 1 of each year, the operator of any idle well shall do either of the following: (1) For each idle well that was an idle well at any time in the last calendar year, file with the supervisor an annual fee equal to the sum of the following amounts: (A) One thousand dollars ($1,000) for each idle well that has been an idle well for less than three years. (B) Two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for each idle well that has been an idle well for three years or longer, but less than eight years. (C) Five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each idle well that has been an idle well for 8 years or longer, but less than 15 years. (D) Twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500) for each idle well that has been an idle well 15 years or longer, but less than 20 years. (E) (i) Until January 1, 2029, twenty-two thousand five hundred dollars ($22,500) for each idle well that has been an idle well for 20 years or longer. (ii) On and after January 1, 2029, twenty-two thousand five hundred dollars ($22,500) for each idle well that has been an idle well for 20 years or longer, but less than 25 years. (F) On and after January 1, 2029, sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) for each idle well that has been an idle well for 25 years or longer. (2) File a plan with the supervisor to provide for the management and elimination of all idle wells. For purposes of the plan, elimination of an idle well shall be accomplished when the well has been properly abandoned in accordance with Section 3208, or it has been shown to the division’s satisfaction that, since the well became an idle well, the well has maintained production of oil or gas, maintained production of water used in production stimulation, or been used for enhanced oil recovery, reservoir pressure management, or injection for a continuous six-month period. The plan shall comply with all of the following: (A) Specify the calendar year or years that it covers. The plan and any renewal of the plan shall cover a time period of up to eight years. (B) Require the operator to consider all of the following when prioritizing idle wells for plugging and abandonment, in addition to priorities identified by the supervisor in regulations: (i) The age of the idle well. (ii) Any indication that the idle well potentially poses a threat to life, health, property, or natural resources. (iii) Wells that are located within 3,200 feet of a sensitive receptor, as defined in Section 3280. (C) Include notes indicating the basis for prioritizing wells. (D) Be subject to approval by the supervisor, who may prioritize the order in which idle wells are addressed. (E) Be reviewed for performance annually by the supervisor, and be subject to amendment by the supervisor, or by the operator with the approval of the supervisor. An updated plan shall be required if there is a change in ownership or holdings of the operator. (F) The required rate of idle well elimination shall be based upon the number of idle wells under the control of an operator on January 1 of each year, as specified in subparagraph (G). If the operator has eliminated more wells than required in calendar year 2024 or any subsequent calendar year, the supervisor may deduct from the new requirement the number of idle wells eliminated in excess of those previously required. In addition, the supervisor may require additional well testing requirements as part of the plan. (G) (i) For calendar years 2025 to 2027, inclusive, unless and until the operator has no idle wells, require that operators with 250 or fewer idle wells eliminate at least 5 percent of their idle wells each year, and, in no case, less than 1 idle well; operators with 251 to 1,250, inclusive, idle wells eliminate at least 6 percent of their idle wells each year; operators with 1,251 to 3,000, inclusive, idle wells eliminate at least 7 percent of their idle wells each year; and operators with more than 3,000 idle wells eliminate at least 15 percent of their idle wells each year. (ii) For calendar years 2028 and 2029, unless and until the operator has no idle wells, require that operators with 250 or fewer idle wells eliminate at least 6 percent of their idle wells each year, and, in no case, less than 1 idle well; operators with 251 to 1,250, inclusive, idle wells eliminate at least 8 percent of their idle wells each year; operators with 1,251 to 3,000, inclusive, idle wells eliminate at least 10 percent of their idle wells each year; and operators with more than 3,000 idle wells eliminate at least 18 percent of their idle wells each year. (iii) For calendar year 2030 and all subsequent calendar years, unless and until the operator has no idle wells, require that operators with 250 or fewer idle wells eliminate at least 8 percent of their idle wells each year, and, in no case, less than 1 idle well; operators with 251 to 1,250, inclusive, idle wells eliminate at least 10 percent of their idle wells each year; operators with 1,251 to 3,000, inclusive, idle wells eliminate at least 15 percent of their idle wells each year; and operators with more than 3,000 idle wells eliminate at least 20 percent of their idle wells each year. (H) An operator who fails to comply with the plan, as determined by the supervisor after the annual performance review, is not eligible to use the requirements of this paragraph, for purposes of compliance with this section, for any of its idle wells. An operator may appeal to the director pursuant to Article 6 (commencing with Section 3350) regarding the supervisor’s rejection of a plan and plan amendments and the supervisor’s determination of the operator’s failure to comply with a plan. If the supervisor’s determination that the operator failed to comply with the plan is not timely appealed, or if the director upholds the supervisor’s determination upon appeal, the operator shall immediately file the fees required under paragraph (1) for each year that the operator failed to comply with the plan. That operator may not propose a new idle well plan under this paragraph for the next two years and then only if the operator has paid all required idle well fees and any associated late payment penalties and interest. (b) All fees received under this section shall be deposited in the Hazardous and Idle-Deserted Well Abatement Fund, which is hereby created in the State Treasury. Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, the moneys in the Hazardous and Idle-Deserted Well Abatement Fund are hereby continuously appropriated to the department for expenditure without regard to fiscal year, to mitigate a hazardous or potentially hazardous condition, by well plugging and abandonment, decommissioning the production facilities, or both, at a well of an operator subject to the requirements of this section. (c) The failure to file, for any well, the fee required under this section shall be conclusive evidence of desertion of the well, permitting the supervisor to order the well abandoned pursuant to Section 3237. (d) This section does not prohibit a local agency from collecting a fee for regulation of wells. (e) Subject to the approval of the division, an idle well shall not be subject to the requirements of this section if the operator has made a diligent effort to locate and access the well, and provided documentation of those efforts demonstrating that it is infeasible to locate or physically access the wellbore. (f) This section does not apply to an idle well that is the subject of a court-approved settlement agreement entered into on or before December 31, 2024, between a local governmental entity and the operator of the idle well, if that settlement agreement imposes more stringent requirements relating to the management and elimination of idle wells than the requirements imposed by the amendments to this section made by Assembly Bill 1866 of the 2023–24 Regular Session of the Legislature.

The update shall include idle well testing and management requirements that, at a minimum, include all of the following: (1) Appropriate testing, as determined by the supervisor, to determine whether the fluid level is above the base of an underground source of drinking water. (2) Appropriate testing, as determined by the supervisor, to verify the mechanical integrity of the well. (3) Appropriate remediation, as determined by the supervisor, of idle wells if there is an indication of a lack of mechanical integrity. (4) For a well that has been an idle well for 15 years or more, an engineering analysis demonstrating to the division’s satisfaction that it is viable to return the idle well to operation in the future. (b) If the operator demonstrates to the division’s satisfaction that the well is not within one-half mile of an underground source of drinking water, testing required under the regulations implementing this section shall not be required until at least two years after the well becomes an idle well. This subdivision shall not be construed to prohibit or limit any other testing required under this chapter. (c) At the discretion of the supervisor, the regulations implementing this section may provide an option for temporary or partial well abandonment in lieu of compliance with the requirements of the regulations implementing this section. (d) If the operator does not remediate an idle well as required by the regulations implementing this section, or the operator does not demonstrate that an idle well is economically viable as required by the regulations implementing this section, then the operator shall plug and abandon the idle well in accordance with Section 3208. (e) Failure to file to comply with the requirements of the regulations implementing this section shall be conclusive evidence of desertion of the well, permitting the supervisor to order the well abandoned pursuant to Section 3237. (f) For purposes of this section, an “underground source of drinking water” has the same meaning as in the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 300f).

(a) (1) The division, in consultation with the State Air Resources Board, shall initiate a study to be conducted by independent experts of fugitive emissions from idle, idle-deserted, and abandoned wells in the state. The independent experts selected shall have experience measuring and documenting emissions from multiple idle and abandoned wells and well sites, preferably at multiple locations within the state. (2) In developing the parameters of the study, the division shall seek input from researchers with expertise in fugitive emissions, oil and gas operators, and people with relevant experience in nongovernmental organizations. The parameters of the study shall (A) be conducted based on a total well sample not to exceed 500 wells, (B) utilize existing information and technology tools that allow data collection without disruption to a well site, (C) limit surface disturbance associated with any emissions sampling, and (D) limit the total cost of the study to a maximum of one million dollars ($1,000,000). (3) In implementing the study, the division shall seek to minimize costs to operators, and the testing conducted pursuant to this section shall not conflict with a scheduled routine maintenance operation of the well or associated equipment. (4) The study shall be conducted to measure emissions of air pollutants, including, but not limited to, greenhouse gases, toxic air contaminants, and volatile organic compounds, from idle wells, idle-deserted wells, and abandoned wells that can contribute to climate change or endanger occupational and public health and safety through their toxicological properties. (5) The division shall work with the independent experts, oil and gas operators, and nongovernmental organizations to identify a stratified random sample of wells, and set of pollutants to be measured, from which measurement data can be used to extrapolate to the total number of idle, idle-deserted, and abandoned wells in the state. To the maximum extent possible, the sample shall include emissions data already collected from wells in the state. (6) The sample of wells shall include idle-deserted wells identified by the division, previously abandoned wells, and idle wells that are ordered or permitted to be plugged and abandoned by the division. (7) For purposes of undertaking the study, for a well that is selected for measurement as part of the sample but which is also scheduled to be plugged, abandoned, or reabandoned, before the initiation of physical work to plug, abandon, or reabandon the well the division or the contracted independent experts, with oversight from the division, shall have testing performed for leaks on the well and associated equipment either (A) in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency Reference Method 21, as set forth in Appendix A-7 to Part 60 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as it read on January 1, 2019, (B) by using an optical gas imaging instrument that is operated by a technician with a certification or training in infrared theory, infrared inspections, and heat transfer principles, or (C) in accordance with an alternative methodology developed for the purposes of this study. (8) If, pursuant to paragraph (7), a well is found to emit hydrocarbons in observable quantities using an optical imaging device or in concentrations greater than 1 percent by volume using a United States Environmental Protection Agency Reference Method 21 instrument when tested before the initiation of physical work, the division or the contracted independent experts shall ensure additional testing is performed using a direct measurement method consisting of high volume sampling, bagging, or a calibrated flow measuring instrument to determine the flow rate of atmospheric emissions of total and speciated hydrocarbon pollutants before the initiation of physical work. (b) Oil and gas operators with wells selected for purposes of sampling under this section shall make reasonable efforts to permit access to the wells to the division and the independent experts contracted to undertake the study if adequate notice is provided to the operator to ensure appropriate safety precautions are taken at the well site. All oil and gas operators with wells selected for sampling shall submit to the division a certification stating that no action was taken to reduce emissions from the sampling site within 72 hours of the sampling taking place so as to reduce the value of measurements taken. (c) On or before January 1, 2026, the department shall post all results of testing conducted pursuant to subdivision (a) on the department’s internet website in a machine-readable format. On or before January 1, 2021, the department shall produce and post to the department’s internet website an interim progress report describing the status of the study conducted pursuant to this section, including, but not limited to, the number of wells where testing has been completed, the number of wells remaining to be tested, study costs, and any preliminary testing results, as available and subject to the requirement described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d). (d) (1) On or before July 1, 2026, the independent experts contracted to undertake the study shall complete a written document that includes an executive summary of the findings, a description of the results, the findings, and an estimate of hydrocarbon emissions from the state’s idle, idle-deserted, and abandoned wells. (2) Before public release pursuant to subdivision (e), the written document shall be provided for peer review and comments, to the operators whose wells were included in the sample, and to a group of independent experts and nongovernmental organizations selected by the division. (e) On or before January 1, 2028, the division shall make the results of the study, as per the written document required pursuant to subdivision (d), available on its internet website. (f) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2029, and as of that date is repealed. (Amended by Stats. 2023, Ch. 848, Sec. 2. (AB 1526) Effective January 1, 2024.

(a) To prevent, as far as possible, damage to life, health, and property, the supervisor or district deputy may order, or permit, the reabandonment of any previously abandoned well if the supervisor or the district deputy has reason to question the integrity of the previous abandonment, or if the well is not accessible or visible. (b) The operator responsible for plugging and abandoning deserted wells under Section 3237 shall be responsible for the reabandonment except in the following situations: (1) The supervisor finds that the operator plugged and abandoned the well in conformity with the requirements of this division in effect at the time of the plugging and abandonment and that the well in its current condition presents no immediate danger to life, health, and property but requires additional work solely because the owner of the property on which the well is located proposes construction on the property that would prevent or impede access to the well for purposes of remedying a currently perceived future problem. In this situation, the owner of the property on which the well is located shall obtain all rights necessary to reabandon the well and be responsible for the reabandonment. (2) The supervisor finds that the operator plugged and abandoned the well in conformity with the requirements of this division in effect at the time of the plugging and abandonment and that construction over or near the well preventing or impeding access to it was begun on or after January 1, 1988, and the property owner, developer, or local agency permitting the construction failed either to obtain an opinion from the supervisor or district deputy as to whether the previously abandoned well is required to be reabandoned or to follow the advice of the supervisor or district deputy not to undertake the construction. In this situation, the person or entity causing the construction over or near the well shall be responsible for the reabandonment. (3) The supervisor finds that the operator plugged and abandoned the well in conformity with the requirements of this division in effect at the time of the plugging and abandonment and after that time someone other than the operator or an affiliate of the operator disturbed the integrity of the abandonment in the course of developing the property, and the supervisor is able to determine based on credible evidence, including circumstantial evidence, the party or parties responsible for disturbing the integrity of the abandonment. In this situation, the party or parties responsible for disturbing the integrity of the abandonment shall be responsible for the reabandonment. (c) For purposes of this section, being responsible for the reabandonment means that the responsible party or parties shall complete the reabandonment and be subject to the requirements of this chapter as an operator of the well. The responsible party or parties shall file with the supervisor the appropriate bond or security in an amount specified in Section 3204, 3205, or 3205.1. If the reabandonment is not completed, the supervisor may act under Section 3226 to complete the work. (d) Except for the situations listed in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subdivision (b), nothing in this section precludes the application of Article 4.2 (commencing with Section 3250) when its application would be appropriate.
