(a) It shall be unlawful for any firm, person, corporation, or individual to dispose of salt water produced in conjunction with the production of oil or gas into any of the streams, lakes, ponds, and other surface waters of the state from any oil or gas pools or fields. It is the intent of this section to make it mandatory that salt water produced from any newly discovered oil or gas field be disposed of by the producer of the salt water by either putting it in pits or recycling it back into the proper sand.
(b) Should any firm, person, corporation, or individual violate the provisions of this section, he or she shall be fined in any sum not less than one hundred dollars ($100) and up to one thousand dollars ($1,000).

In addition to the fine imposed in this section, the circuit courts of this state may enjoin the violator from continuing the unlawful disposal.
