KCC Fee Fund Plugging — Anderson County

376 of the 12,692 wells on the register in Anderson County — 3.0% — carry this class.

What this class means

the well was plugged at the State’s expense, through the Abandoned Well Plugging and Site Remediation Fund, because no responsible party could be found. It is the clearest sign in this file that an operator walked away.

Anderson County holds 3.1% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 2.4% of the register overall — so the class is over-represented here.

What stands out among these

The operator named on most of these records is Kcc Fee Fund Plug, on 48 of them (12.8%), ahead of State of Kansas (36) and State of Kansas - Fee Fund (6). The oldest well here was completed in 1924 and the most recent in 1984, and the deepest reaches 900 feet — Brecheisen 1.

An old well on land in Anderson County?

376 wells in Anderson County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 376 on the register — the sign that an operator was gone. If you find a well on your land, report it and do not tidy it up: knocking over casing can make you the responsible party. This site reads the register; it does not plug wells. Tell us where and we pass the request to Kansas operators and consultants.

We recommend nobody and we are nobody's agent. We have no arrangement with any firm today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.

The wells

KCC Fee Fund Plugging, Anderson County — the last column reads *yes* where the register records the well as plugged, *State* where it was plugged at public expense, and a dash where neither. A 0 depth means none was reported. The legal description is on the record, never on a page.
