Section 280. Procedure for obtaining a construction permit for well sources
-
Since the quantity and quality of water from proposed wells cannot be anticipated, the following procedure shall be used:
1. Submittal of application--see 12VAC5-590-200 A.
2. Preliminary engineering conference--see 12VAC5-590-200 B.
3. When, upon inspection by the division's engineer, one or more well lots are found suitable for well sites, then tentative approval in writing will be furnished to the owner authorizing him to proceed with the drilling of the well or wells and this letter will specify the exact location on the lot where each well is to be drilled. Also, the letter will specify that the well shall be Class I or Class II, meeting the specifications set forth in Part III Article 2, Source Development. This tentative approval will become void after a 12-month period and the site must be reinspected before construction when so voided.
4. Submittal of engineer's report and preliminary plans--see 12VAC5-590-200 C.
5. Submittal of plans, specifications, and other data--see subsections D, E, and F of 12VAC5-590-200; 12VAC5-590-210 and 12VAC5-590-840. One of the following must also be submitted:
a. A copy of the plat plan showing that it has been duly recorded and signed by the clerk of the court, giving the deed book and page number and date of recording, will be required before a construction permit can be issued, or
b. If the well lot is identified on a recorded plan of the subdivision as a well lot, then this is acceptable, if recorded as required by this subsection.
In addition, a dedication document duly recorded with the clerk of the circuit court must be furnished stating that the well lot shall be used only for waterworks appurtenances as long as this lot is utilized as part of a waterworks.
6. Compliance with 12VAC5-590-220 through 12VAC5-590-270 is required.
