W. Va. Code R. § 47-60-22

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

Section 47-60-22 - Special Circumstances and Exceptions

22.1. The appropriate groundwater regulatory agency may require or approve more restrictive or alternative well material, assembly, installation, development or abandonment procedures if the contaminant concentrations or geologic setting require alternative construction. Prior written approval is required before any alternative materials are used in monitoring well installation.

22.2. Exceptions to the requirements of this rule may be approved by the appropriate groundwater regulatory agency prior to installation or abandonment. An exception request shall state the reasons why compliance with the rule requirements is infeasible or unnecessary. The appropriate groundwater regulatory agency may conditionally approve an exception by requiring materials or procedures that safeguard against contamination and result in monitoring well construction that is substantially equivalent to the requirements of this rule. Failure to comply with the conditions of an exception voids the appropriate groundwater regulatory agency's approval of the exception.
