Kathi,

   Here is the Ohio Revised Code link to Law Writer for Injection Wells.

It's about two pages long and should cover everything you need to know about injection wells.

Thanks Ron but the only thing I see in the document about space requirements relates to the distance from mines. Am I missing something?

This injection well is 133' from a barn and 180' from the property line.

This is an aerial photo of the Kimble #1 D.  It gives you an idea of the size of a small injection well.

It looks like it is the same as oil and gas wells, 100' in a non urban area. 

This well is near Cambridge OH:

ODNR will have the answer give them a call and ask they will tell you the whole story including the permitting process that can take upwards of one year to get approval.

Ok. I called ODNR and the answer is that, although there are set back requirements, there is no minimum amount of acreage required for the placement of a Class II Disposal well. Thanks to those who responded.
