KCC Fee Fund Plugging — Montgomery County

1,822 of the 22,449 wells on the register in Montgomery County — 8.1% — 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.

Montgomery County holds 14.8% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 4.3% 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 State of Kansas, on 146 of them (8.0%), ahead of Kcc Fee Fund Plug (116) and State of Ks (69). The oldest well here was completed in 1929 and the most recent in 1986, and the deepest reaches 3097 feet — Hendrickson 14.

An old well on land in Montgomery County?

1,822 wells in Montgomery County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 1,822 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, Montgomery 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.
