				  that is registered by a well drilling contractor. The card shall be carried on
				  the drilling machine at all times where it may be inspected at any reasonable
				  hour upon a request by the department representative or a health officer. The
				  card expires on April 30 each year.
(2) The registration card and duplicate seals
				  that are furnished for a drilling machine are not transferrable. The card and
				  seals shall be returned to the department when a drilling machine is sold,
				  traded, or otherwise disposed of. A registration card and 2 new seals for a
				  drilling machine that is sold, traded, or otherwise disposed of will be
				  provided without cost upon receipt of the old card, the 2 old seals, and an
				  application that requests authorization to operate a different drilling
				  machine.

(2) A shallow sump
				  installed for the purpose of removing water that has collected in an
				  underground excavation or water that may seep into a sump, equipped with a low
				  lift pump to remove the water which would enter or interfere with the
				  excavation, is not considered a dewatering well and is exempt from these rules
				  if the sump is:
(a) Constructed within the
				  limits of the excavation.

Rule 242.
(1) A
				  dewatering well shall be located to accomplish the temporary dewatering

Rule 243.
(1) The
				  wall thickness of the casing of a dewatering well shall be selected to
				  withstand the forces expected to be exerted on the well casing during
				  installation and removal.
(2) The
				  casing shall extend not less than 12 inches above the working grade. The top of
				  a casing shall be capped or covered in a manner to prevent entry of extraneous
				  objects and to serve as a safety measure as long as the casing remains in
				  place. When flooding is imminent, precautions shall be taken to prevent the
				  entry of flood water into the casing. However, the casing on a well point
				  system may extend less than 12 inches above grade when a closed piping
				  collection network is used under vacuum and the closed piping is maintained to
				  prevent surface waters from entering the well points.

				  the requirement of chlorinating water used for drilling a dewatering well for
				  legitimate reasons relating to water source, use of the well, site location,
				  aquifers being penetrated or other justifiable reasons, and shall be obtained
				  in writing from the department for each project. Water from a shallow surface
				  pond which is generally polluted, turbid, and contains algae or other
				  microscopic plants and animals shall not be used for drilling
				  purposes.

Rule 253.
(1) If
				  toxic or flammable gases are present the health officer shall be notified
				  immediately and special construction features shall be used. The gas shall be
				  vented not less than 8 feet above working grade to minimize the explosive
				  hazard and remove the gas from direct human contact. The well casing shall be
				  sealed tight to assure that all gas is exhausted through the vent. R 325.1764
				  and R 325.1766 prescribe plugging procedures for a dewatering well containing
				  gas.
(2) Where the water resources
				  commission, consulting engineer, municipality, or other governmental unit
				  involved in the dewatering project determines that disposal of contaminated
				  water or water with a high mineral content or dissolved or entrained gases
				  creates a problem, the department may make additional requirements.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 255. Water pumped from a dewatering well shall be
					 conveyed to a natural watercourse in a manner that does not cause damage to
					 abutting property, create a hazard, or cause silting in the receiving stream.
					 This water is not considered potable and shall not be used for drinking or
					 domestic purposes. The pumping water level in a dewatering well shall be
					 maintained at the minimum possible depth below the ground surface that will
					 dewater the excavation. Duration of operation shall also be regulated by the
					 contractor to minimize time of pumping to the period actually needed to dewater
					 the excavation effectively. The contractor, consulting engineer, and the owner
					 of the construction project for which the dewatering wells are being drilled
					 shall give due consideration as to what effect lowering the groundwater table
					 will exert on existing wells.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 262. A dewatering well used in conjunction with
					 underground construction or building excavation when the dewatering well is not
					 more than 40 feet below the working grade shall be plugged as provided in this
					 rule except dewatering wells covered by R 325.1763. At the time the filter
					 material is added, the well shall be backfilled from a depth of not less than 7
					 feet below the working grade to the working grade with an inorganic parent soil
					 material encountered within the upper 7 feet. A finer textured inorganic soil
					 shall be used when substituted for the parent material. The plugging shall be
					 completed after the casing and screen are removed from the dewatering well by
					 adding and compacting additional inorganic parent material naturally occurring
					 in the upper 7 feet or with finer textured soils in the excavation remaining at
					 the site due to slumping of the filter material. These soils shall be added in
					 a manner to prevent future slumping and assure that the drill hole shall remain
					 filled to the working grade. Where 1 or more dewatering wells are deeper than
					 40 feet in depth, plugging procedure prescribed in R 325.1763 shall be used on
					 all wells penetrating the deeper aquifer. Exception to this plugging procedure
					 may be requested and a written decision reached through a conference with the
					 department.

Rule 263.
(1) A
				  dewatering well deeper than 40 feet below the working grade, a dewatering well
				  used in conjunction with tunnel construction or a well used as an artesian
				  pressure relief well and all dewatering wells located within 500 feet of a
				  municipal well site shall be plugged during construction as prescribed in this
				  rule. The annular space between the bore hole and the casing shall be
				  backfilled at the time the filter material is added with a mixture of 4 pounds
				  of bentonite to each cubic foot of fine textured inorganic soil, upward from a
				  minimum depth of 10 feet below the working grade. The bentonite and fine
				  textured inorganic soil shall be thoroughly mixed at the time of
				  backfilling.
(2) The following
				  chart relates bore hole diameter to volume and quantity of bentonite needed per
				  foot of bore hole.

				  to each cubic foot of fine textured inorganic soil for a distance of not less
				  than 5 feet of the bore hole. The bentonite and fine textured inorganic soil
				  shall be thoroughly mixed at the time of backfilling. A minimum of 142 pounds
				  of bentonite shall be used in backfilling a 36-inch diameter hole and a minimum
				  of 62 pounds of bentonite in a 24-inch diameter hole. The plugging shall be
				  completed by adding and compacting additional inorganic parent material or fine
				  textured soils. These soils shall be added in a manner to prevent future
				  slumping and assure that the drill hole shall remain filled to the working
				  grade. Approval in writing shall be obtained from the department prior to
				  instituting any modifications in the plugging requirements of this
				  rule.
