The Monitoring reports for samples collected in 1998 reported nitrate levels at the Maximum Contaminant <br /> Level for nitrates of 45 parts per million. This well has fallen into such a state of disuse and disrepair that it may <br /> become a source of impairment to ground water quality. <br /> The following sections of the END San Joaquin County Well Standards and the State of California Bulletin 74-81 <br /> apply to this situation. <br /> 1. San Joaquin County,Public Health Services,Environmental Health Division,Well Standards, <br /> Section 6.1 states,"When a well no longer functions as originally designed, or cannot appropriately <br /> function in place of another design, or has fallen into such a state of disuse or disrepair that it may become <br /> a source of impairment to the ground water quality, constitutes a safety hazard, or found to be abandoned, <br /> it must be destroyed under a well destruction permit'. <br /> 2. The State of California,The Resources Agency,Department of Water Resources,Water Well <br /> Standards: State of California Bulletin 74-81, Part IN.Destruction of Wells, Section 20. Purpose of <br /> Destruction states,"A well that is no longer useful must be destroyed in order to: 1.)Assure that the ground <br /> water supply is protected and preserved for further use." <br /> Since the well can no longer be used as a source for public drinking water and may be a conduit for groundwater <br /> contaminants, you are hereby directed to destroy the well,under permit and inspection by the END. An application <br /> for a well destruction permit shall be submitted to the END by a C-57 licensed well driller by January 31,2005. <br /> If you have any questions,please contact Adrienne Ellsaesser at(209)468-0343 or Willy Ng at(209)468-3448. <br /> Donna Heran,REHS,Director <br /> Environmental Health Department <br /> Adrienne Ellsaesser,Lead Senior REHS Margaretagorio,R.E.H.
