I am aware that various <br />development plans have been proposed for this property over the <br />last few years. However, since there are no immediate plans apparent <br />to develop the site using this well as a private or community <br />water supply, we must require certain measures at this time to <br />eliminate the potential for groundwater contamination posed by <br />this well. <br />If you plan to permanently abandon this well, it must be properly <br />sealed and filled with concrete or cement grout. This must be <br />performed by a licensed well -driller. If you plan to again use <br />this well at a future date, it must be temporarily sealed upon <br />approval of the State Health Department. In addition, the well <br />casing would have to be extended above the ground surface, and <br />the existing well pit filled in. (Well pits are no longer allowed <br />because surface water may collect in the pit and enter the well, <br />thereby acting as a source of agtiifer contamination). <br />I refer you to Mr. James Nye, Minnesota Health Department Ground <br />Water Quality Control Unit, 623-5339, if you have questions <br />regarding this matter. I would appreciate your prompt response, <br />and will be happy to a ist you in any way I can. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael P.
