Relating to the inspection of the location of a proposed Class I injection well.

SB 1060 modifies Texas Water Code requirements for inspecting proposed Class I injection wells, which are used for deep underground disposal of fluids (common in oil and gas operations). It allows the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to accept inspection reports from licensed engineers or geoscientists instead of conducting in-person inspections, including virtual inspections using satellite imagery, mapping software, or other digital tools. The bill requires these reports to confirm location inspections and determine casing requirements, directly affecting well operators, TCEQ staff, and licensed professionals preparing reports. The changes apply only to permit applications filed on or after September 1, 2025.
