Under N.D. Admin. Code 43-02-03-15 (N.D.C.C. ch. 38-08), a single-well drilling and plugging bond is $50,000, but the director may approve a lesser amount for a well 2,000 feet or less in depth. The Industrial Commission can require a higher amount based on the well's economic value and expected plugging and reclamation cost. Confirm the amount the director approved on your permit.
