What is the time frame in which a water well log report should be submitted after abandoning a well?

The requirement to submit a water well log report after abandoning a well is set at 60 days, which is crucial for several reasons. This time frame ensures that the relevant authorities are informed promptly about the status and technical details of the abandoned well. Timely submission of this report helps in monitoring and managing groundwater resources effectively, preventing potential contamination, and maintaining up-to-date records of well statuses in the area.

By adhering to this 60-day limit, well drillers help regulatory agencies enforce standards and maintain the integrity of groundwater systems. The regulation is designed to safeguard public health and the environment, making compliance essential for those involved in the well construction and abandonment process. Understanding and following this time frame is a key responsibility of water well contractors.
