CHAPTER 230GROUNDWATER AVAILABILITY CERTIFICATION FOR PLATTING
RULE §230.8Obtaining Site-Specific Groundwater Data

      (iv) aquifer conditions (e.g., water levels, gradients, etc.) during the previous test were approximately the same as they are presently.

  (8) Need for additional aquifer testing and observation wells. Best professional judgement shall be used to determine if additional observation wells or aquifer tests are needed to adequately demonstrate groundwater availability. The Theis and Cooper-Jacob nonequilibrium equations, and acceptable modifications thereof, are based on well documented assumptions. To determine if additional information is needed, best professional judgement shall be used to consider these assumptions, the site-specific information derived from the aquifer test required by this section, the size of the proposed subdivision, and the proposed method of water delivery.

(d) Submission of information. The information, data, and calculations required by this section shall be made available to the municipal or county authority, if requested, to document the requirements of this section as part of the plat application.
