LOCATION: Item 4 of the Administrative Procedures requires that the water source
be located in an area so that it will not become contaminated by surface nor
sewerage system contamination.

Table 10, in Appendix D of the PMO, requires that the water sources located in
favorable (unconsolidated) subsoil formations be located a minimum of 50 feet from
all sources of contamination such as:

 Human or animal excreta;

 Cesspools, dry wells, disposal and waste injection wells, and deep
leaching pits;

 Areas of limited filtration or questionable aquifer formations, and/or

 Near sources of concentrated multiple contaminants.

LESSER DISTANCES ARE ACCEPTABLE ONLY AFTER APPROVAL OF THE
STATE WATER AUTHORITY FOLLOWING A COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY
SURVEY.

The sanitary survey should include engineering data covering source development,
pollution hazard detection and assessment, and be conducted by trained and
competent persons in public health engineering.

Surveys are continuously made on existing supplies compatible with the control of
the health hazards and maintenance of a good sanitary quality water source.

Individual well construction standards may be found in Appendix D of the PMO.
