Certification and Registration

PURPOSE: This rule sets standards for certification and registration report submittal for water wells, monitoring wells, heat pump wells, test holes, and pump installations. (1) For certification and registration report requirements see section 256.614.1, RSMo. (2) Certification of a well does not guarantee or imply that the well will produce potable or usable quantities of water. (3) Certification reports. (A) If the pump is installed within sixty (60) days of the well completion date, the pump information may be included on the well certification report. (B) If the pump is installed more than sixty (60) days after the well completion date or if a different permitted contractor installs the pump, then the pump installation contractor is responsible for submitting a separate pump report. (C) A certification report for a replacement pump installation is not required. However, reports may be submitted for replacement pump installations to meet pump installation contractor apprenticeship requirements. (D) Pump replacement does not change the type or use of the well (i.e., from domestic to multifamily or from domestic to high yield). (E) A certification report is not needed for temporary monitoring wells, dry holes, or test holes. (4) Registration reports. (A) Temporary monitoring wells located on the same monitoring site all may be reported on one (1) registration report with the associated fee, provided the wells are plugged in the same manner. The report shall be submitted within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of plugging the first temporary monitoring well. (B) Test holes shall have registration reports submitted within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of completion of plugging and will be held confidentially for a minimum of ten (10) years pursuant to section 256.615.3, RSMo.
