Instructions
If you are a landowner in West Virginia and suspect the presence of an orphaned well on your property, it is important to report it to the West Virginia Department of
Environmental Protection (WVDEP). Reporting these wells helps ensure environmental safety and the proper remediation of potential hazards. Please provide your contact
information and details about the well using the form linked below.
Please note that reporting a well does not guarantee it will be prioritized for plugging under WVDEP's current funding sources. Your proactive reporting helps protect
the environment and public health by ensuring orphaned wells are properly identified and remediated. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.
