The request has been reviewed for <br />the Board of Examiners of Water Well Construction and Pump Installation Contractors. The request is <br />specifically for a variance from the well construction standards to allow the installation of pumping equipment in <br />a gravel pit well. <br />Pursuant to Board Policy 2000-4 and the authority granted by the Board, the required variance to the <br />Rules is granted subject to the following conditions: <br />1. Every necessary means and precautions to prevent contaminants from entering the gravel pit well shall be <br />taken. <br />2. Pumping equipment shall be installed in accordance with the limitations for production rate specified on the <br />well permit. <br />3. Water from the gravel pit well shall be not be used for human consumption. <br />4. Rule 15 concerning disinfection standards is hereby waived for the gravel pit well and the installation of <br />pumping equipment in the gravel pit well. <br />5. The pump must be installed by a licensed pump installation contractor or by the owner with equipment both <br />owned and operated by the owner. Pursuant to section 37-91-106(3), C.R.S., an owner who intends to <br />install his own pumping equipment must pass an examination prescribed by the Board prior to conducting <br />the work. <br />6. A standard Pump Installation and Test Report shall be filed in accordance with Rule 17. <br />Granting the request for variance to minimum well construction and pump installation standards does <br />not relieve the owner of potential responsibility or liability in the event contamination of the water source results <br />from such construction, nor does the grantor assume any responsibility or liability should contamination occur. <br />If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact this office. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dave McElhaney, P.G. <br />Chief, Geotechnical Services Branch <br />cc: Well File <br />Michelle Austin <br />Division 2 . <br />TIMOTHY L.
