Capped well definition

Capped well means a well that is closed or capped, with a covering capable of preventing surface pollutants from entering the well, sustaining weight of at least 400 pounds, and constructed in such a way that the covering cannot be easily removed by hand. [Amended June 12, 2012]

More Definitions of Capped well

Capped well means a well that is closed or capped with a covering capable of preventing surface pollutants from entering the well and sustaining a weight of at least four hundred (400) pounds, or, in the case of an artesian well, an artesian pressure of up to four hundred (400) pounds, as necessary to effectively prevent water from flowing out of the well and running over the surface of the ground above the well or wasting through the strata through which it passes.

Related to Capped well

  • Test Well means a well constructed for the purpose of obtaining information needed to design a well prior to its construction. Test wells are cased and can be converted to observation or monitoring wells and under certain circumstances to production wells

  • Shallow well means a well located and constructed in such a manner that there is not a continuous layer of low permeability soil or rock (or equivalent retarding mechanism acceptable to the department) at least 5 feet thick, the top of which is located at least 25 feet below the normal ground surface and above the aquifer from which water is to be drawn.

  • Abandoned well means a well whose use has been permanently discontinued or which is in a state of disrepair such that it cannot be used for its intended purpose or for observation purposes.

  • stratigraphic test well means a drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific geologic condition. Ordinarily, such wells are drilled without the intention of being completed for hydrocarbon production. They include wells for the purpose of core tests and all types of expendable holes related to hydrocarbon exploration. Stratigraphic test wells are classified as (i) "exploratory type" if not drilled into a proved property; or (ii) "development type", if drilled into a proved property. Development type stratigraphic wells are also referred to as "evaluation wells".

  • Development Well means a well drilled inside the established limits of an oil or gas reservoir, or in close proximity to the edge of the reservoir, to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.
