W. Va. Code R. § 47-60-20

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 47-60-20 - Driven-Point Wells

Driven-point wells with contaminant compatible drive pipes and well screens may be used as permanent monitoring wells if prior groundwater regulatory agency approval is obtained. Prior approval is not necessary for driven-point wells installed in the backfill surrounding underground storage tanks used solely to determine the water table elevation in the tank pit for tank tightness testing purposes. Written documentation shall be supplied to the appropriate groundwater regulatory agency prior to installation indicating:

20.1. That the well is to be used only for water table elevation measurements or to monitor for parameters for which the well casing and screen material will not interfere with the analytical results;

20.2. That the well will not provide a conduit for contaminants to enter the groundwater; and

20.3. That information on subsurface stratigraphy is not needed. In situations where subsurface geologic information is needed, a separate borehole shall be constructed to collect the required data.
