that was constructed on or after May 1, 1983 shall have the water well's
annular space grouted as follows:
(1) From
three feet below ground level to a minimum of 20 feet below ground level; or
(2) below the point at which a
pitless well adapter attaches to the well casing to a minimum of 20 feet below
the pitless well adapter.
(b) The annular space of each abandoned water
well in which the water well was constructed before May 1, 1983 shall be
grouted as follows:
(1) If the annular space
does not contain grout or gravel pack and is free of debris, the grout shall be
placed in the annular space in the following manner:
(A) From three feet below ground level to 20
feet below ground level; or
(B)
below the point at which a pitless well adapter attaches to the well casing to
a minimum of 20 feet below the pitless well adapter.
(2) If the annular space contains gravel pack
or other material, all of the following requirements shall be met:
(A) The well casing shall be removed to a
depth of four feet below ground level.
(B) The annular space shall be freed of
gravel pack, any other material, and fluid from the top of the casing to six
feet below the top of the well casing.
(C) The grout shall be placed in the annular
space from six feet below the top of the well casing to one foot above the top
of the well casing.
(c) From three feet below ground level to
ground level, the water well or borehole shall be backfilled with clean,
compacted topsoil and sloped so that the drainage or runoff is directed away
from the plugged water well or borehole.
(d) If groundwater is encountered at a depth
less than the minimum grouting requirement, the annular space grouting
requirement may be modified by requesting a variance from the district as
specified in 28-30-208 .
