(1) All test holes shall be constructed in a manner that will conserve and protect the groundwater resources and not be a source or channel of contamination or pollution to any aquifer.

(2) Test holes may be converted into other types of wells provided advanced written approval is obtained from the department and the well is constructed to the minimum standards provided in 10 CSR 23.
