9 3-160.5 Standards: Standards for the construction, repair, reconstruction,
destruction or abandonment of wells shall be as set forth in Chapter II of
the Department of Water Resources-Bulletin No. 74, "Water Well Standards:
State of California" and Appendixes E, F and G a part thereof, together with
the supplemental standards of Department of Water Resources Bu11etine No. 74-2,
"Water Well Standards: Alameda County; and Department of Water Resources
Bulletin No. 74-1, "Cathodic Protection Wells Standards: State of California",
with the following modifications:
\
(1) No well intended to produce fresh groundwater shall be perforated
opposite aquifers producing saline water. It is recognized that in
some instances produccion may be desired from areas and/or depths
which contain poor or margina~ quality water in all aquifers penetrated.
It is not the intent of these standards to preclude such situations so
long as the integrity of the fresh water supplies is maintained. Final
judgment on well construction that would cause intermingling of waters
of different qualities shall be at the discretion of the County.
(2) In wells open to fresh water aquifers, penetrated aquifers producing
saline water shall be sealed-off as specified in Section 13, Chapter
II, Bulletin No. 74, and in Chapter IV, Bulletin 74-2.
(3) Perched saline water shall be excluded from wells by a deep annular
seal as specified in Section 9, Chapter II, Bulletin No. 74, and in
Chapter IV, Bulletin 74-2.
(4) As a guideline, saline water is considered as water which contains
more than 250 ppm chloride ion. During well construction, the
permittee shall provide some provision for the determination of ground-
water quality characteristics of the major aquifers penetrated so that
a judgment can be made as to whether or not intermingling will take
place. Such determination can consist of evaluation of data:regarding
adjacent wells, evaluation of sa~ples of formation materials encountered.
Final judgment as to the probability of intermingling and the need for
evaluation of conditions shall be at the discretion of the County.
\./
,
(5) Backfilling work on e~~loÏ.atory holes, as defined herein, shall be
subject to requirements equivalent to those in ~he destruction of
abandoned wells.
