ORS 520.025 prohibits drilling or using a well without a DOGAMI permit and any bond required under ORS 520.095. ORS 520.095 authorizes DOGAMI to require performance bonds or other financial security to ensure compliance with Chapter 520 — including mitigating off-site impacts, reclaiming drill sites, and filling sumps. A drilling bond amount is based on the depth of the well, and DOGAMI will not consent to bond release until the well is plugged and the site reclaimed. Confirm your required amount on the DOGAMI permit.
