(A) A gas well permit may be transferred upon written request by the operator with the consent of the city:
(1) If the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the current gas well permit and road repair agreement:
(2) If all information previously provided to the city as part of the current gas well permit application is updated to reflect any changes; and
(3) If the transferee provides the insurance and security required by this chapter.
(B) The insurance and security provided by the transferor shall be released if a copy of the written transfer is provided to the city. The transfer shall not relieve the transferor from any liability to the city arising out of any activities conducted prior to the transfer.

The notice shall include the new operator's name and emergency and non-emergency telephone numbers.
