Abstract

This chapter of the Maine Revised Statutes concerns water wells. It provides that within 30 days after completion of any well or dry hole, or the enlarging or deepening of an existing well, a well drilling company shall submit a report to the Division of Geology, Natural Areas and Coastal Resources on forms designed and provided by the Division of Geology, Natural Areas and Coastal Resources. The report must contain information as may be required by the Division of Geology, Natural Areas and Coastal Resources, including, but not limited to, location, construction and well yield. Any well drilling company that has engaged in the construction of water wells, but who has not submitted well completion reports on a timely basis as required by this chapter, is in violation of this chapter.
