HB 2203: Hydraulic continuity critria

Establishing criteria to determine hydraulic continuity.

Summary

  • Rules are established by statute for determining whether pumping ground water from a well is likely to cause substantial interference with surface water. If the water comes from a confined aquifer (i.e. under hydrostatic pressure) then the Department of Ecology must determine that there is a clear and direct relationship between surface and ground water, based on field tests.
