A pump motor, angle drive, or other surface feature of a well, when in compliance with the above provisions, shall suffice as a cover. The well shall be marked so as to be easily visible and located, and labeled so as to be easily identified as a well. The area surrounding the well shall be kept clear of brush, debris, and waste materials. San Joaquin County Ordinance Code, Title 9, Section 9-1115.5 (e) Abandonment of Wells. Upon determination that any well is abandoned as provided in the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this Chapter, that well must be destroyed in the manner prescribed so that entrance of degraded or contaminated water into usable aquifers, or creation of a safety hazard, are minimized. Well Regulations, SJC Water Well Standards, Section 6.1 Abandon well not in use; no power source to well; open and unsecured. When a well no longer functions as originally designed, or cannot appropriately function in place of another design, or has fallen in to such a state of disuse or disrepair that it may become a source of impairment to the ground water quality, constitutes a safety hazard, or found to be abandoned, it must be destroyed under a well destruction permit. Observation #3 Seven floating homes, each with an attached macerator pump station, were observed. Each floating home is equipped with an approximately 10 to 15-gallon macerator pump tank attached to the side of the home and partly submerged in the water. Four of the floating homes' macerator pump tanks on the north side of the property are connected by under water hoses routed to an approximately 1,200 gallon poly sewage holding tank on the land north of the docks. The three remaining floating homes on the south side of the property are similarly connected by underwater hoses discharging to three respective sewage holding tanks (two concrete and one poly) but the connections to these tanks were observed to be severed at the time of the inspection. According to the caretaker of the facility, the pipes have been severed since approximately November of 2018. The EHD has no record of the approval or permitting of the floating homes at the facility or for the utility connections for the floating homes, including water and sewage connections. The EHD has no record of an approved onsite sewage disposal system, including holding tanks, to serve the wastewater generated from these floating homes. Observation #4 One macerator pump station was observed outside the restroom building behind the BBQ deck which discharges to an adjacent 5,000 gallon poly holding tank. EHD was provided photographs showing that lagoon water often floods in the area of these two tanks, including over top of the macerator tank. Some minor sewage odor was also noted in this area.
