To plug a well in PA, the well operator needs to make DEP aware of where the well is.  The way an operator does that is to apply for a "Permit to Plug and Abandon" from the DEP.  That way, DEP knows where a plugged and abandoned well is, and the Commonwealth of PA makes some $$$ off of the process as well.  And most importantly, the well is plugged properly as to not cross-contaminate any fresh water bearing zones.
