substances - Proof of access to approved disposal well - List of permits - Fees - Provisions supplemental to other applicable motor carrier laws. A. No motor carrier shall engage in the business of transporting any salt water, mineral brines, waste oil and other deleterious substances produced from or obtained or used in connection with the drilling, development, producing and operating of oil and gas wells and brine wells, for any valuable consideration whatever, or in any quantity over twenty (20) gallons, without a license authorizing such operation and a deleterious substance transport permit to be issued by the Commission. Provided, transportation of such substances by private carrier of property by motor vehicle shall require a deleterious substance transport permit. B. No carrier shall transport deleterious substances under a carrier license issued by the Commission until such time as the carrier has been issued a deleterious substance transport permit. C. No deleterious substance transport permit shall be issued to a motor carrier or private carrier until the carrier has furnished written proof of access to a Class II disposal well or wells. Said written proof of access shall be provided by the owner of such disposal well. Such disposal well must first be approved by the Corporation Commission as adequate to meet the need for proper disposal of all substances which the applicant may reasonably be expected to transport as a motor carrier or private carrier. Provided that nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the disposition of such deleterious substances in a disposal well that is owned by a person other than the transporter. D. The Commission shall maintain a current list of such permits. The Commission shall charge such annual deleterious substance transport permitting fees as will cover the cost of issuing such licenses and an annual fee of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) for each such deleterious substance transport license. Proceeds from the fees shall be deposited by the Commission in the State Treasury to the credit of the Corporation Commission Revolving Fund. The provisions of this section are supplemental and are in addition to the laws applicable to motor carriers. Added by Laws 1965, c. 422, § 2, emerg. eff. July 8, 1965.
