What information must I provide to the Water Quality Branch for the installation of a well?
All applications requesting new well installations or modification of an existing well shall submit a plot plan showing the location of all underground utilities within 50 feet of the proposed well site. The plot plan must show any identifiable sources of potential contamination, such as (but not limited to) septic tanks, field lines for the septic tanks, underground seepage pits, manure piles, barns, or similar potential sources of contamination. Also, the plot plan should indicate an approximate location for the well, and it must be sited as close to the desired location as possible. A sketch of how the well is to be constructed shall be included with the application. Sections I and IX of the Well Application Form must be completed by the well owner. The well driller must complete sections IV through VIII and both the applicant as well as the driller must sign the completed application form.
