NAC534.375. Construction of well: Measures required if contaminant or contaminated water is encountered.  


Latest version.
  • If a contaminant or contaminated water is encountered during the construction of a well, the strata which contain the contaminant or contaminated water must be cased or sealed in such a manner that the contaminant or contaminated water does not commingle with or impair other strata or the water contained in other strata. The well driller shall, by grouting or by using special seals or packers, prevent the movement of the contaminant or contaminated water in the well bore.
