Current through June 24, 2024
(1) PLANS.
(a)
General.
The detailed
				  construction plans shall contain appropriate plan and profile views,
				  elevations, sections and supplemental views which together with the
				  specifications provide all necessary information for construction of the
				  improvements. The elevations shall be based on sea level datum or local datum
				  when a conversion to sea level datum is provided. Manufacturer's drawings are
				  not acceptable as construction plans and will not be approved. Other state and
				  local codes, including those of the department of safety and professional
				  services, the public service commission, and the department of health services,
				  shall be consulted for other requirements where applicable.
(b)
Wells.
1. A general plan shall be submitted which
				  shows the location of the proposed well and its relation to proposed or
				  existing water supply facilities. It shall show all features of sanitary
				  significance which could have an effect on water quality. A separate well site
				  plan shall be submitted which shows the property lines, contours or an
				  appropriate number of spot elevations so that drainage can be determined,
				  surficial features, structures, and any other relevant data. The well site plan
				  shall also show the locations of all the observation wells, monitoring wells,
				  test wells, treatment wells, or other wells to be constructed in relation to
				  the well site and all permanent supply wells to be constructed on the site. A
				  detailed well cross-section shall be submitted which shows the size and depths
				  of drill holes and casings, depth of grout, and geological formations to be
				  penetrated.
2. A copy of a well
				  site investigation report shall be submitted as required in sub. (4) prior to
				  or along with the plans submitted to the department for all final wells or
				  applicable test wells as described in s.
				  NR 811.12 (1) (g)
				  2. Based upon a review of the submitted well
				  site investigation report, the department may perform an on-site inspection of
				  the well site. Wellhead protection criteria conforming to s.
				  NR 811.12
				  (6) shall be considered when siting wells. In
				  addition, drawdown effects from the pumping or test pumping of test wells and
				  final wells shall be considered during well siting and design. Information on
				  possible drawdown effects on nearby private wells, public wells, or surface
				  water bodies from pumping test wells or final wells and the means to be
				  provided for measuring the effects shall be included with all submittals to the
				  department where significant drawdown may occur or when required by the
				  department.
3. Plans and
				  specifications shall be submitted prior to the construction of any test well to
				  be pumped at a rate of 70 gallons per minute or more for a duration of 72 hours
				  or more. When it is known with reasonable certainty that any proposed test well
				  will be converted to a final well the plans and specifications for the final
				  well shall be submitted for department approval prior to construction of the
				  test well.
(c)
Surface water intakes.
1.
				  'Location plan.' Plans shall show the location of the intake pipeline and crib
				  relative to the low lift pumping facility. The pipeline shall be referenced by
				  bearing and distance, and the crib location shall be defined by latitude and
				  longitude.
2. 'Detailed plans.' A
				  profile of the proposed pipeline and crib shall be provided in addition to
				  construction plans.
(d)
Treatment plants.
1.
				  'Location plan.' The location plan shall show the location of the treatment
				  plant in relation to the remainder of the water system and the water source or
				  intake.
2. 'Layout.' The general
				  layout plans shall include a contour map of the site, the site size, the size
				  and location of plant structures, a schematic flow diagram indicating the
				  various plant units, the piping layout, and a hydraulic profile at gravity
				  plants.
3. 'Detailed plans.' The
				  detailed construction plans shall include the location, dimensions, elevations
				  and details of all existing and proposed plant units or equipment.
(e)
Chemical feed
				  equipment.
The plan shall include a layout of the waterworks structure
				  and piping. All of the following locations and details of the proposed
				  equipment shall be included:
1. Descriptions
				  and specifications of feed equipment, including anti-siphon devices and feed
				  ranges.
2. Location of feeders,
				  piping layout and points of application.
3. Storage and handling facilities.
4. Specifications for chemicals to be
				  used.
5. Operating and control
				  procedures.
6. Description of
				  testing equipment and procedures.
7. Well or booster pump discharge rates and
				  pressures.
8. Emergency eyewash and
				  shower units.
(f)
Pumping facilities.
The plan shall show a general layout of
				  the pumping equipment, pump bases, suction and discharge lines and related
				  appurtenances.
(g)
Buildings.
The plans shall show the locations of all buildings
				  and other site improvements in relation to the site property boundaries. The
				  following details shall be included, where applicable:
1. Building dimensions, profiles, elevations,
				  architectural details, plumbing details, HVAC details, security details, and
				  other building appurtenances.
2.
				  Property site contours.

				  any non-water system related improvements to be located or constructed on the
				  property.
(h)

				  thereof with the proposed extensions shown will satisfy this
				  requirement.
2. 'Detailed plans.'
				  The plans shall show all of the following:
