A saltwater disposal letter is one of three types of groundwater protection recommendation
(GWPR) letters issued by the TCEQ.
To request a saltwater disposal letter, submit these items (use
a different procedure to amend a
letter issued this calendar year):
- A copy of your completed
RRC form W-14 (
Instructions for RRC form W-14)
- A location map with abstracted surveys
- If there is one or more existing GWPR letters for this well:
- and the most recent letter is less than five years old, a copy
of that letter
- but the most recent letter is at least five years old, a new form TCEQ-0051
- If there is no existing GWPR letter for this well, a new form TCEQ-0051
- A copy of an electric log:
- for this well, if you are dealing with an existing well
- for a nearby well that is deep enough to show the proposed
injection zone, if you are drilling a new well
Send us your request by regular U.S. mail
or by an overnight
express service.
When you receive your saltwater disposal letter, you
must attach it to your RRC permit. The RRC relies on
information in this letter to design an appropriate surface casing
program for each saltwater disposal well.
