(a) Developing, redeveloping, or conditioning a well shall be done by methods that will not cause damage to the well or cause adverse subsurface conditions that may destroy barriers to the vertical movement of water between aquifers.
(b) The well opening shall be closed with a cover to prevent the introduction of undesirable material into the well and to ensure public safety whenever the well is not in use or when maintenance is being performed on the well.
(c) During well development, every well shall be tested for plumbness and alignment in accordance with AWWA or API approved standards, (i.e., deviation checks). The plumbing and alignment tests shall be documented to ensure problems such as key seating, or fatigue failures will not occur.
(d) All injection/recharge wells used for discharge of commercial, municipal or industrial wastes shall inject fluid through a tubing with a packer set immediately above the injection zone or tubing with an approval fluid seal as an alternative.
(e) At a minimum, all commercial, municipal and industrial waste, special process discharge, artificial recharge and miscellaneous discharge wells deviation checks and cement bond logs shall be conducted and documented. The Water Quality Division should be contacted prior to well construction or operation to determine the need for additional logs and tests.
