Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
The intent of the South Dakota well construction standards is as
	 follows:
(1) To protect the health of
  the public;
(2) To provide water
  which is both bacteriologically safe and of reasonable quality and quantity for
  domestic use;
(3) When water is
  supplied to the public, to provide water which complies with Drinking Water
  Standards, Chapter 74:04:05;
(4) To
  protect the groundwater resources of the state from bacteriological and
  chemical contamination and from leakage between aquifers;
(5) To prevent waste of
  groundwater;
(6) To provide minimum
  well construction standards; and
(7) To provide for a reasonable life of all
  wells.
When conflicts develop in interpretation of the South Dakota well
	 construction standards this section will be the basis for settlement of the
	 conflicts.

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
Precast curbing or concrete casing may be used to construct wells for
	 private and reasonable domestic use, irrigation wells, and noncommercial
	 livestock watering wells. Precast curbing or concrete curbing may not be used
	 for public water supply wells or any other wells which require water permits.
	 When used, construction must meet the following requirements:
(1) The top of the precast curbing or
  concrete casing shall be covered with a cover with a downward flange which will
  overlap the edge of the curbing or casing;
(2) The casing must be located deep enough
  into the saturated aquifer material to allow placement of the pump to meet the
  definition for adequate wells in subdivision 74:02:04:20(6);
(3) Pressure grouting as required by §
									74:02:04:28 must be completed or,
  as an alternative, the precast curbing or concrete casing may be terminated 10
  feet below the ground surface and the terminated casing covered with a concrete
  or steel cover. A concrete cover must have a hole in the center formed by a
  short section of pipe 10 inches in diameter or less. The pipe section must be
  an integral part of the cover and in place when the concrete cover is poured. A
  steel cover must have a hole in the center with a pipe 10 inches in diameter or
  less welded over the opening. The cover shall be placed on the terminated
  casing and the annular space outside the casing below the cover and the cover
  joint shall be sealed to a depth of no more than 2 feet above the top of the
  aquifer or to a depth of 20 feet below grade, whichever is nearest to ground
  surface, by pouring dry granular bentonite into the annular space through a
  tremie pipe. The space around the pipe extension to the surface shall be filled
  with bentonite to at least one foot above the cover and with clay or native
  soil to the ground surface. The pipe extension to the surface and any joints in
  the pipe must be watertight.
