The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Branch may designate areas where ground water quality problems are known to exist and where a well will penetrate more than one aquifer. The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Branch may require in these designated areas special well seal(s) to prevent mixing of water from several aquifers. Where an applicant proposes well construction, reconstruction, or destruction work in such an area, the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Branch may require the applicant to provide a report prepared by a Registered Geologist or Registered Civil Engineer (California Business and Professions Code §§ 7850 and 6762 respectively) that identifies all strata containing poor quality water and recommends the location and specifications of the seal or seals needed to prevent entrance of poor-quality water or its migration into other aquifers. (Ord. 1885, § 2, 2/13/1990; Ord. 2351, § 23, 12/6/2005)
