time for the required inspections as listed below:

Annular seal installation on a well;
(2)
Final inspection of a completed well installation;
(3)
Destruction of wells.
(b)
At the discretion of the administrative authority, the required notification for a
scheduled inspection may be reduced.
(c)
Inspections shall be scheduled during standard business hours. The administrative
authority may, at its discretion, waive an inspection. Such a decision by the administrative

an inspection is waived, the applicant or his/her designated agent shall supply any
and all documentation requested by the administrative authority to demonstrate compliance
with the standards contained in this chapter.
(d)
With prior approval, an inspection by the administrative authority may be waived when
the placement of the annular seal is completed under the supervision of a registered
professional geologist or a registered professional civil engineer. When supervising
the placement of an annular seal, a registered professional geologist or registered
professional civil engineer shall provide a written statement with wet signature stamp
to the administrative authority within thirty days of completion of the work, certifying
that they personally witnessed the placement of the seal and detailing the seal depth,
thickness, seal material and method of placement.
(e)
Within five days after the work on a well has been completed, the administrative authority
shall be notified by the person performing the work so the final inspection may be
conducted. The well concrete pad, disinfection tube and either water tight gasket
seal or a well cap shall be in place for this inspection. The administrative authority
may waive the onsite inspection of a conductor casing cap if verified in writing by
the registered professional civil engineer, registered professional geologist or C57
water well drilling contractor.
