Oklahoma Corporation Commission

Wastewater injection operations are banned within a half mile of public water wells unless regulators hold a hearing to ensure that this activity will not pollute groundwater.

Regulators at the Oklahoma Corporation Commission did not hold a hearing before approving the well in 2018.
