SDCL § 45-9-25: Hearing to establish spacing units--Establishment of temporary spacing units by board pending determination of ultimate spacing period.

If, at the time of a hearing to establish spacing units there is not sufficient evidence from which to determine the area that can be efficiently and economically drained by one well, the Board of Minerals and Environment may make an order establishing temporary spacing units for the orderly development of the pool pending the obtaining of the information required to determine what the ultimate spacing should be.
