Minnesota Department of Health Regulation 4725.2500 - 2900 requires <br /> that al l abandoned water we is shaI l be properly sealed by a State <br /> approved water well contractor. <br /> i <br /> As of April 1, 1986, the City of St. Louis Park Housing -Inspection <br /> Program'is now complying with State Law which requires sealing of <br /> abandoned water wells. Wells in operable condition that pose no <br /> threat of contamination will be allowed to remain. State of Minnesota <br /> requirements specify that all water well sealing must be performed by <br /> State licensed and approved water well contractors with abandonment <br /> reports (water well records) being submitted to both the State of <br /> Minnesota and the City of St. Louis Park. <br /> Water wells are normally found in the basements of homes either with <br /> the pump still in place, or more commonly with a short stub of well <br /> casing protruding above the floor. <br /> To seal an abandoned well , the contractor must pump a cement-benton i te <br /> mixture down the well casing under pressure, completely filling the <br /> well casing from the well point back up -to the top portion of the well <br /> casing. <br /> S <br /> I <br /> 604 ! <br /> O Ira,a <br /> WELL I soave vy°• <br /> •w� ----- — ------J o.Y.• a4 <br /> .e, beevvaQ7 <br /> w ,asa d.� ewaQaQdo <br /> dao a°vaao o 1g,A o a•se <br /> WATER TABLE <br /> .WATER AQUIFER <br /> MOVEMENT j <br /> POINT <br /> AQUIFER. <br />
