    42-3913.  MINIMUM STANDARDS -- RULES AND REGULATIONS -- ADOPTION. The
water resource board shall adopt minimum standards for the construction or
abandonment of waste disposal and injection wells. Such standards shall
require each waste disposal and injection well to be so constructed as to
protect the ground water of this state from waste and unreasonable
contamination. Each licensed well driller or operator will be furnished with a
copy of the adopted standards, and will be required to construct each waste
disposal and injection well drilled after the effective date of said rules and
regulations in compliance with the determined standards. Failure by a licensed
driller to comply with such standards shall constitute cause for revocation of
the well driller's license in accordance with section 42-238, Idaho Code.
    The water resource board shall also adopt minimum standards for the
construction and abandonment of shallow injection wells. Any person who
constructs or abandons a shallow injection well without complying with such
standards shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
