Description The purpose of the rulemaking is to amend Chapter 173-160 WAC, Minimum Standards for Construction and Maintenance of Wells. These standards identify specific construction requirements that all wells must meet in order to protect public health, safety, welfare, and ground water resources. The changes to these standards are intended to further protect ground water resources, answer driller and other interested party concerns, clarify existing rules, and correct typographical and technical errors.
