Part II. Well Construction <br />Section 8. Well Location With Respect to Pollutants and Contaminants, and Structures. <br />Note: The title of Section 8 has been revised. <br />Section 8 (page 26 of Bulletin 74-81) has been revised to read as follows: <br />"A Se1!aration. All water wells shall be located an adequate horizontal distance from known or <br />potential sources of pollution and contamination. Such sources include, but are not limited <br />to: <br />.sanitary, industrial, and storm sewers; <br />.septic tanks and leachfields; <br />.sewage and industrial waste ponds; <br />.barnyard and stable areas; <br />.feedlots; <br />.solid waste disposal sites; <br />.above and below ground tanks and pipelines for storage and conveyance of petroleum <br />products or other chemicals; and, <br />.storage and preparation areas for pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals. <br />Consideration should also be given to adequate separation from sites or areas with known or <br />suspected soil or water pollution or contamination. <br />The following horizontal separation distances are generally considered adequate where a <br />significant layer of unsaturated, unconsolidated sediment less permeable than sand is <br />encountered between ground surface and ground water. These distances are based on present <br />knowledge and past experience. Local conditions may require greater separation distances to <br />ensure ground water quality protection.
