§ 23B-5c. Well spacing requirements.

After July 25, 1996, any well required to have a new permit under this chapter with a pump having an engineered pumping capacity stated below shall be located no closer to an existing well than as indicated on the graph entitled, "Well Spacing Requirement" and dated March 1, 1995, which graph is incorporated herein by reference, (Attachment A of Ordinance No. 3272), except that one (1) well may be located within a parcel so long as the well is in compliance with section 23B-5b of this chapter. Where a new well complies with section 23B-5b of this chapter but cannot comply with this section, the health officer shall require that the well's location comply with the well spacing requirement to the extent reasonably possible. All wells with an engineered pumping capacity of greater than five thousand (5,000) gallons per minute must apply for a variance under this chapter. The following table shows examples of the engineered pumping capacity to well spacing requirement:

Engineered Pumping Capacity (gallons per minute)	Well Spacing Requirement (feet)
1,000	450
2,000	1,150
3,000	1,700
4,000	2,200
5,000	2,600
Greater than 5,000	Variance shall be required
