Nev. Admin. Code § 534.375 - Measures required before constructing new water well and if contaminant or contaminated water is encountered during construction of water well
1. Before commencing construction of a new
water well, a licensed well driller shall investigate the drilling conditions,
the geology of potential aquifers and overlying materials in the area in which
the new water well is located by examining Well Driller's Reports in the
database maintained on the Division's website for wells located in the area in
which the new water well will be located.
2. If a contaminant or contaminated water is
encountered during the construction of a water well, the strata which contain
the contaminant or contaminated water must be cased or sealed in such a manner
that the contaminant or contaminated water does not commingle with or impair
other strata or the water contained in other strata. The well driller shall, by
grouting or by using special seals or packers, prevent the movement of the
contaminant or contaminated water in the borehole.
