Groundwater appropriation procedure—Where proposed construction is near surface water supply.
Where a proposed well is to be constructed near a lake, stream, or spring, which is heavily or fully appropriated, the department of ecology may specify a minimum distance between the well location and the surface water supply, or, require that the well casing be installed in such a manner as to insure a break in hydraulic continuity between the well and the shallow groundwaters contributing to the surface water supply.
