OH Wells Program Introduced

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources unveils plans to plug a backlog of orphan and idle wells. The wells have been plugged improperly and do not have an owner to pay to have them done correctly. The wells are health hazards and have been found under a school, next to houses, and in farm fields in several areas across the state. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has been making revisions to the Orphan Well Program to allow landowners to hire with a contractor, who would be paid by the state, to plug low risk wells.
