La. Admin. Code tit. 56, § V-113 - Responsibility for and Procedures for Registering Inventoried Water Wells Whose Records are Available to the State

A. The commission shall obtain from available data a listing, by landowner or lessee, of wells with pertinent data. A copy of the list shall either be sent to the landowner or lessee for checking or shall be checked and verified by a representative of the department.

B. If the list is sent to the landowner or lessee for checking and updating, the landowner or lessee shall be responsible for updating and correcting the list, certifying the list as current, and returning the corrected and verified list to the commission within 30 days after receiving the list.

C. The list shall be updated by indicating the current status of each listed well, by adding wells not on the list, and by indicating the wells that have been abandoned.

D. When the list, as corrected and certified by the landowner or lessee is received by the commission or department, the active wells on the list provided by the commission or department shall be considered registered. Wells added to the list by the owner shall be inventoried and registered by a representative of the commission or department in accordance with the procedures in §115

E. If in the opinion of the commission or department a visit or contact by a representative of the state is preferable and more convenient to the landowner or lessee than sending a list of wells, a field visit or contact shall be made by a representative of the state. This procedure will be used when the landowner or lessee is responsible for only a few wells. After the data is checked and the location verified, a local well number shall be assigned to the well. At that time the well shall be considered registered.

F. Upon request, the landowner or lessee will be sent an updated listing of registered wells, by the department or commission, for which he is responsible.
