Owners or operators must notify the commissioner in writing in advance of doing any well work or formation testing as required in §3621.A.9. 3. Owners or operators of Class VI wells, or applicants for Class VI wells must submit all required submittals, reports, and notifications under §§3605, 3607, 3615, 3617, 3619, 3621, 3623, 3625, 3627, 3629, 3631, and 3633 to the USEPA in an electronic format approved by the USEPA. 4. Records shall be retained by the owner or operator as follows: a. all data collected for Class VI permit applications in §§3607 and 3619 shall be retained throughout the life of the geologic sequestration project and at least 10 years following site closure. b. data on the nature and composition of all injected fluids collected under §3625.A.1.a shall be retained at least 10 years after site closure. The commissioner may require the owner or operator to deliver the records to the commissioner at the conclusion of the retention period. c. raw operating data from the continuous recording devices prescribed by §3621.A.6 shall be retained in digital format at least 10 years after collection. d. monitoring data collected under §§3625.A.2 through 3625.A.9 shall be retained at least 10 years after site closure. e. well plugging reports, post-injection site care data, including, if appropriate, data and information used to develop the demonstration of the alternative post-injection site care timeframe, and the site closure report collected pursuant to requirements at §§3633.A.6 and 3633.A.8 shall be retained at least 10 years following site closure. f. The commissioner may require the owner or operator to retain any records required under these regulations for longer than 10 years after site closure. The commissioner may require the owner or operator to deliver the records to the commissioner at any time prior to or at the conclusion of the retention period. B. Recordkeeping. Owners or operators of Class VI wells shall retain records as specified in §§3615.C.4, 3629.A.4, 3631.A.5, 3633.A.6, and 3633.A.8.
