Medium hard red-blue cinder Medium hard red-blue rock, some cinder, water?? Clean hole for installing casing. Installed 1145 feet of slotted and solid 4" steel casing

Returned to site on January 3,2003 to pull steel casing and deepen hole. Drilling notes from a depth of 1145 feet to 1725 feet lost in mail. Brief description compiled from driller's memory.

January 3,2003 to February 10,2003 Drilled out cement grout in annular space, pulled 1145 feet of casing, drilled to 1725 feet in mostly hard red rock with good returns. Driller believes water reached between 1450-1500 feet. During drilling from 1500 feet on to 1725 feet he estimated that he was making 150-200 gallons per minute of water.

On February 4,2003 at a depth of 1725 feet a hydraulic hose blew, driller shut down all hydraulics while keeping compressor running with water/foam injection. Driller drove to Hilo to get new hydraulic hose while helper kept compressor running. While returning from Hilo helper called and said compressor stopped because deck engine quit running and he was unable to re-start. When compressor quit apparently massive amounts of material fell down in hole burying tools. Tools were hard stuck, driller could not go up or down and could not rotate. Between February 4,2003 and about May 30, 2003 constant attempts were made to free tools to no avail. About 500 feet of drill pipe were recovered which broke off from the main string. Hole was abandoned, with 1225 feet of tools in hole. Tools are a 7-7/8 inch tricone bit, two 6-inch by 20 foot round steel drill collars, several drill subs with float valves, and 1180 feet of 4-112 inch steel drill pipe. The hole will be sealed in accordance with State of Hawaii, COWRM regulations.

Comments on drilling and abandonment of Ahualoa Filter Plant Well (State # 8-6331-01) by the U.S. Geological Survey

The elevation at the well site is about 2530 feet above mean sea level. Drilling started on September 21, 1999. The upper 110 feet was drilled to a diameter of 14-114 inches and cased with lO-inch diameter steel casing with neat cement between the annulus and casing. Between then and December 19, 1999, the well was drilled to a depth of about 1500 feet, or about 1000 feet above sea level using either an 8-inch hammer or a 7-7 18-inch tricone bit. Based on air pressure readings, the driller felt that he was in water. Four-inch steel casing was installed on January 6,2000 to a depth of 1145 feet, but a blockage prevented installing casing to the bottom of the well. Subsequent measurements could not reliably detect a water table.

Work on the site resumed on January 3,2003. The casing was pulled and the well drilled to a depth of 1725 feet. The driller believes that he was in water at depth of 1450-1500 feet. During drilling from 1500 to 1725 feet, an estimated flow of 100-200 gallons per minute was being airlifted out of the hole. These observations suggest that a significant ground-water body exists at this location at an elevation of approximately 1000 feet above sea level.

On February 4, 2003, the deck engine that runs the air compressor and a hydraulic hose both failed. With the loss of circulation in the borehole, cuttings settled on top of the bit and other tools causing the entire drill string to be tightly stuck. Between February 4 and May 30, all attempts to free the drill string were unsuccessful. On May 30, the upper 500 feet of the drill string broke under the stress of hydraulic jacks. A 7-7 18-inch tricone bit, two 6-inch by 20-ft steel drill collars, several drill subs with float valves, and 1180 feet of 4-112-inch drill rod were left inside the hole.

The hole was sealed on September 10 (11 yards 1:1 sand: cement mix) and September 11 (20 yards neat cement) to a depth of 901 feet. On May 4,2004, the hole was sealed to the surface with 12 yards of 1:1 sand: cement mix.

Enclosed is a Well Abandonment Report for Ahualoa Filter Plant Well (State # 8-6331-01). I am also enclosing the driller's notes and a narrative on the history of this well. As you may know, this well was drilled to a depth of 1725 feet when the drill string became stuck and had to be abandoned. Sealing was completed on June 4, 2004. Despite this loss, the well provided strong observational evidence that a significant ground-water body exists at this location at an elevation of approximatelyl000 feet above sea level.

Dear Mr. Tribble:

We have received your February 10, 2003 facsimile, requesting CWRM comments or approval on proposed approaches to recently constructed wells on Kauai and new wells planned for Hawaii.

With regard to the Maalo Road Monitor Well (Well No. 0123-01) and the Aahoaka Hill Monitor Well (Well No.~ . .",Q,l~ on Kauai, we concur with your classification of these wells as temporary monitoring wells. On this basis, we accept the Well Completion Reports - Part I as complete. Please ensure that you apply for and obtain the necessary Well Abandonment Permits prior to commencing the sealing work, which shall be completed within five years from the date of this letter. Submission of Well Abandonment Reports will also be required for these wells. (Visit our website at www.state.hi.us/dlnr/cwrm to download the most updated application forms.)

We look forward to receiving the Well Completion Report for the Upper Eleele Tank Monitor Well (Well No. 5534-06) and do not foresee any problems with proceeding in a manner similar to that proposed for Well Nos. 0123-01 & 0222-01.

With regard to your proposals for the construction of deep monitor wells on Hawaii, we will schedule your variance requests for Commission action at one oftheir upcoming meetings.

Dear Mr. Nakano:

This letter is a follow-up 10 my Jetter of Jan. 21 and a meeting this morning with CWRM staff to

discuss USGS well construction practices. After discussing each well at length and exploring

several alternative, I request that CWRM comment or approve on the approach proposed below

for each well. .

Kauai wells: For the Maalo Road monitor well (State number 2-0123-01) and Aahoaka Hill

monitor well (*I~~2 ... 0t), I request that these wells be considered as temporary monitoring

wells. As such, the USGS agrees to seal these wells within 5 years after acceptance of the Well

Completion Report by CWRM, unless CWRM determines that it is in the public interest to leave

the well~: open and available for additional monitoring. The USGS agrees to seal the wells sooner

than 5 years if CWRM determines that the wells represent a significant threat to water quality.

We will make a similar request with regard to the Upper Eleele Tank Well (2-5534-06) when the

Well Completion Report for that well is submitted.

Big Island well under construction: To finish construction of the Ahualoa Treatment Plant

Well (8-6331-01), we request a variance for permission to use a 500 foot deep grout seal with a

diameter of2 inches instead of the standard requirement for a 3 inch diameter seal. Although the

100 foot deep surface casing of the well is already installed and grouted, we can finish the well

with a 500 foot deep grout seal between the 8 5/8 drilled annulus and the 4 inch diameter steel

casing. 1 n effect, this would leave the well with the upper 100 feet having a grout and steel

protection over 6 inches in diameter, and the interval from 100 to 500 feet deep having a grout

seal of 2 inches in diameter.

'. 0!/I0/03 _._ MON 1~:.47 FAX 808 tJ 2401 u.s. GEOLOGICAL s~y ......... COWRlI

Big Island wells with pending driUing permit applications: The USGS has submitted

applications for permits to drill two other wells on the Big Island. In our application for both the

Kanehoa Exploratory Well (8-6144-01) and HOVE Exploratory Well (number not assigned yet),

we requested permission to construct these wells with a grouted surface casing for only the first

100 feet ;)fwell depth. Following discussions with your staff, the USGS amends that request to

have a minimum depth of grouted casing to be 200 feet. Further, the USGS agrees that the length

of the grout seal and solid casing can be .extended up to the maximwn of 500 feet if determined

necessary by CWRM staff based on an drilling conditions and local geology. We request that

below a depth of 100 feet, as with the Ahualoa Treatment Plant Well, CWRM permit a grout seal

with a minimum thickness of2 inches. The seal for the upper 100 feet will 3 inches thick or

greater.

I greatly appreciate the willingness of you and CWRM staff to work with the USGS towards

ensuring our mutual goal of protecting Hawaii's water resources. Please feel free to call me if

there are additional details that need clarification.

U.S, Geological Survey Water Resources Division 677 Ala Moana Blvd" Suite 415 Honolulu, HI 96813

Dear Mr. Tribble:

We have received your January 21,2003 letter, responding to our request for an explanation for unapproved variances from the Hawaii Well Construction and Pump Installation Standards (HWCPIS) for Well Nos. 0123-01 & 0222-01.

With regard to the length of solid casing and grouting depth, in the future, please use the stabilized average head encountered during the drilling of the pilot hole for the portion of the aquifer penetrated by the well, rather than the first water level encountered, as stated in following sections of the HWCPIS:

Section 2.4(d):

"All wells (excepting salt-water wells, artesian wells, and temporary monitor wells designed for immediate or short-term monitoring purposes and subsequent abandonment/sealing) shall be constructed with a casing string having a minimum length of solid casing equal to 90 percent of the depth measured from the ground sutface to the top of the selected aquifer ... " (emphasis added]

Section 2.6(c):

To prevent sur/ace contamination, the annular space 0/ all cased non-artesian wells (except monitor wells designed for immediate and short-term monitoring purposes and subsequent abandonment) must be sealed with grout from the ground sur/ace to a minimum depth 0/500/eet or 70% o/the vertical distance between the ground sur/ace and the top o/the aquifer selected/or exploration, long-term monitoring, or development, whichever depth is less." [emphasis added]

e We believe the 20 feet of solid casing and grout between the inner and outer casing is

insufficient to prevent downward passage of poor quality water, pollutants, or contaminants from surface sources and subsurface sources in the unsaturated zone above the aquifer. According to the HWCPIS, for Well No. 0123-01, the minimum length of solid casing should be 224 feet with 174 feet of grouted annular space. For Well No. 0222-01, the minimum length of solid casing should be 53 feet with 41 feet of grouted annular space. Furthermore, the HWCPIS also specifies that plastic casing shall not be used in wells where depth exceeds 100 feet because grouting requirements may distort or collapse the plastic casing.

Because of our concerns regarding potential threats to the water resource, we offer the following options for an administrative resolution ofthese violations:

1. We will extend the Well Construction Permits for an additional two years to allow you to modify the wells to meet the minimum requirements of the HWCPIS, or

2. The wells be considered temporary or short-term monitoring wells and be properly sealed within five years in accordance with HWCPIS and after first obtaining Well Abandonment Permits from the Commission.

With regard to the other two substandard wells referenced in your letter for which completion reports are still being prepared (Well Nos. 5334-06 & 6331-01), we offer the same options provided above.

Please inform us, within sixty days, if you would like to proceed in accordance with the administrative resolutions outlined above, if you have other alternative remedies to offer, or if you would like a hearing before the Commission on these matters.

If you have any questions, please contact Lenore Nakama at 587-0218.

Subject: Re: usgs variancesl:]

Whether "water levels can change substantially during drilling because there is a strong vertical head gradiant" or if the change is actually due to perched water, they should have anticipated rapid water level changes when the well Maalo Rd well was constructed. I believe the Aahoaka Well is drilled into the TWN (Napali basalt = shield building) and not subject to perched conditions. Indeed, there is a dike outcropping in Aahoaka Hill. I believe the USGS should have anticipated these geological conditions before drilling. I would recommend that they do more detailed background research regarding field conditions prior to drilling. I believe it's too late to make these wells compliant other than sealing them. I would write a letter in response and point out that they should have the expertise and the resources (files, brains) to anticipate the design of the well to comply with field conditions and our standards.

In light of the USGS' 1/21/03 letter, explaining their "nonstandard" monitor well construction, 1) do we want to require them to redo any aspect of construction to make it compliant with the HWCPIS and 2) do we want to require them to do anything further to mitigate nonstandard construction (because of resource threats etc)?

Mr. Dean Nakano Acting Deputy Director

January 21,2003

State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Commission on Water Resource Management P.O. Box 621 Honolulu, HI 96829

Dear Mr. Nakano:

This letter is to address concerns about the construction of the Maalo Road monitor well (State number 2-0123-01) and Aahoaka Hill monitor well (a.@)~.) in relation to Hawaii Well Construction Standards, as noted in your letter of January 10, 2003. As described below, while these two wells do have a proper length of solid casing, the diameter of the grouted annulus is less than the 3-inch minimum called for in the Hawaii Well Construction Standards. Further, it appears that two other wells have been constructed in violation of Hawaii Well Construction Standards. Thus, it appears that four wells have been constructed in ways that do not meet State standards.

The following describes the rationale for drilling and well construction methods that were used for these wells, and how I interpret their compliance with Hawaii Well Construction Standards. Since these wells have been drilled, we have changed our methods so that wells are drilled in compliance with Standards. I trust that we can work together to resolve these past violations.

Solid Casing Length & Grouting Depth for Maalo Road and Aahoaka Hill wells Our monitor-well construction methods consist of initially drilling a large-diameter

hole (about 17.5 inches) to competent rock, then installing a solid steel surface casing and fully grouting the annual space between the borehole and well casing, drilling to the final depth of the well is"then done by using a smaller-diameter bit inside the solid steel casing. As you know, water levels can change as a well is drilled. In the Lihue Basin, water levels can change substantially during drilling because there is a strong vertical head gradient. In this situation, the first water level encountered is more indicative of the regional water table, whereas the water level measured after the well is drilled to its final depth is an average head for the portion of the aquifer penetrated by the well. We therefore use the first water level encountered to determine how much surface casing and grout will be needed to comply with the well-construction standards.

The table below shows the depth of the water table below ground surface in relation to the amount of solid casing and the water level in the completed well. For both wells, the solid casing (and grout) extends below the water table as determined from the drillers' logs. The water levels noted in the Well Completion Report are significantly below the initial water levels encountered during drilling and do not reflect the elevation of the water table. Rather, the reported water levels are more indicative of baseline water levels that will be compared with future measurements in the wells.

Thickness of Grouted Annular Space for Maalo Road and Aahoaka Hill wells We agree that in both wells, the difference between the diameter of the drill bit

(17.5 inches) and the surface casing (12.5 inches outer diameter) leaves a nominal annular space of 2.5 inches, which is less than the standard of 3 inches. When these wells were initially drilled in 1998, it was apparently presumed that this was adequately close to the standard considering that a hole drilled by a 17.5-inch bit will be slightly larger than 17.5 inches. We realize the importance of adequate grout to prevent contamination and for the stability of the casing, and have changed our drilling practices to ensure that each well is now constructed with at least 3 inches of grout in the annular space by using solid casing with an outer diameter of 10.5 inches.

Other wells Upon review of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) wells for which we have not

submitted Well Completion Reports, it appears that there are two other wells not consistent with Hawaii Well Construction Standards, and will need to be addressed in some fashion.

The Upper Eleele Tank Well (2-5534-06) was originally drilled in 1998. This well was also constructed with 2.5 inches of grout in the annulus (12.5 inch 00 casing inside a 17.5-inch borehole). Also, the solid casing length is 100 feet, whereas it should have been at least 260 feet based on a water table elevation of approximately 372 feet. This well was recently completed with the installation of 4-inch diameter casing to the bottom of the well. A well completion report is being prepared.

The Ahualoa Treatment Plant Well (8-6331-01) was started in 1999 and drilled to a depth of 1400 feet without encountering water. This well was also constructed with 2.5 inches of grout in the annulus (12.5-inch 00 caSing inside a 17.5-inch borehole).

o o


As with the Upper Eleele Tank well, the solid casing length is also 100 feet, whereas it should have been at least 500 feet. The remainder of the hole was drilled to a diameter of 8-5/8 inches. Although we are currently deepening this hole, it does not appear practical to re-bore this hole to install a deeper surface casing.

I hope this explanation clarifies the practices used to drill these wells. I deeply regret these violations of Hawaii Well Construction Standards, and understand that as a Federal Agency the USGS should be held to the highest levels of compliance. Since the time these wells were drilled we have changed our methods so that we are either in compliance with Standards or obtain a variance approved by the Commission. I am also sorry for the inconvenience caused to your staff by the need to address these issues. Regardless, I would like to request a meeting to discuss how best to address these past violations. Please call me at 587-2405 at your convenience so that we can resolve this situation.

Dear Mr. Nakano:

j -

This letter is a follow-up to my letter of Jan_ 21 and a meeting this morning with CWRM staff to

discuss USGS well construction practices. After discussing each well at length and exploring several alternative, I request that CWRM comment or approve on the approach proposed below for each well. .

Kauai llells: For the Maalo Road monitor well (State number 2-0123-01) and Aahoaka Hill . monitor well (2-0222-01), I request that these wells be considered as temporary monitoring

wells. As such, the USGS agrees to seal these wells within 5 years after acceptance of the Well

Completion Report by CWRM, unless CWRM determines that it is in the public interest to leave the well~: open and available for additional monitoring. The USGS agrees to seal the wells sooner

than 5 y(:ars ifCWRM detennines that the wells represent a significant threat to water quality. We will make a similar request with regard to the Upper Eleele Tank Well (2-5534-06) when the

Well Completion Report for that well is submitted.

Big Island weD under construction: To finish construction of the Ahualoa Treatment Plant

Well (8-6331-01), we request a variance for permission to use a 500 foot deep grout seal with a diameter of2 inches instead of the standard requirement for a 3 inch diameter seal. Although the

100 foot deep surface casing of the well is already installed and grouted, we can finish the well with a 500 foot deep grout seal between the 8 5/8 drilled annulus and the 4 inch diameter steel

casing. I n effect. this would leave the well with the upper 100 feet having a grout and steel

protection over 6 inches in diameter, and the interval from 100 to 500 feet deep having a grout

seal of2 inches in diameter.

Big Island wells with pending drilling permit applications: The USGS has submitted

applications for permits to drill two other wells on the Big Island. In our application for both the

Kanehoa Exploratory We1l (8-6144-01) and HOVE Exploratory Well (number not assigned yet),

we requested permission to construct these wells with a grouted surface casing for only the first

100 feet of well depth. Following discussions with your staff, the USGS amends that request to

have a minimum depth of grouted casing to be 200 feet. Further, the USGS agrees that the length

of the grout seal and solid casing can be .extended up to the maximum of 500 feet if determined

necessary by CWRM staff based on an drilling conditions and local geology. We request that

below a depth of 100 feet, as with the Ahualoa Treatment Plant Well, CWRM permit a grout seal

with a minimum thickness of2 inches. The seal for the upper 100 feet will 3 inches thick or

greater.

I greatly appreciate the willingness of you and CWRM staff to work with the USGS towards

ensuring our mutual goal ofpr01ecting Hawaii's water resources. Please feel free to call me if

there are additional details that need clarification.

Mr. Dean Nakano Acting Deputy Director

January 21,2003

State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Commission on Water Resource Management P.O. Box 621 Honolulu, HI 96829

Dear Mr. Nakano:

This letter is to' address co , s about the construction of the Maalo Road monitor well (State and Aahoaka Hill monitor _~~,~,~jJIiJv relation to Hawaii Standards, as noted in your Ie er 0 January 10, 2003. As described below, while these two wells do have a proper length of solid casing, the diameter of the grouted annulus is less than the 3-inch minimum called for in the Hawaii Well Construction Standards. Further, it appears that two other wells have been constructed in violation of Hawaii Well Construction Standards. Thus, it appears that four wells have been constructed in ways that do not meet State standards.

The following describes the rationale for drilling and well construction methods that were used for these wells, and how I interpret their compliance with Hawaii Well Construction Standards. Since these wells have been drilled, we have changed our methods so that wells are drilled in compliance with Standards. I trust that we can work together to resolve these past violations.

Solid Casing Length & Grouting Depth for Maalo Road and Aahoaka Hill wells Our monitor-well construction methods consist of initially drilling a large-diameter

hole (about 17.5 inches) to competent rock, then installing a solid steel surface casing and fully grouting the annual space between the borehole and well casing, drilling to the final depth of the well is then done by using a smaller-diameter bit inside the solid steel casing. As you know, water levels can change as a well is drilled. In the Lihue Basin, water levels can change substantially during drilling because there is a strong vertical head gradient. In this situation, the first water level encountered is more indicative of the regional water table, whereas the water level measured after the well is drilled to its final depth is an average head for the portion of the aquifer penetrated by the well. We therefore use the first water level encountered to determine how much surface caSing and grout will be needed to comply with the well-construction standards.

o o


The table below shows the depth of the water table below ground surface in relation to the amount of solid casing and the water level in the completed well. For both wells, the solid casing (and grout) extends below the water table as determined from the drillers' logs. The water levels noted in the Well Completion Report are significantly below the initial water levels encountered during drilling and do not reflect the elevation of the water table. Rather, the reported water levels are more indicative of baseline water levels that will be compared with future measurements in the wells.

Dear Ms. Nishioka:

This letter is a follow-up to a fax sent by Roy Hardy ()i between he and I regarding incomplete information 0

Survey (USGS). The following points refer to his fax construction permits requested by the USGS.

. ·;i.~,:tr conver~lion , )Iogical

All the wells on the list ~re drilled by the USGS, wii Observation Well (2101-03). This well was modified based on photos on file in our office. A copy of the' '. Permit is enclosed. The original driller and date of constn;;n;n-.. __

aver d prior to 1928 )dification ur files.

With regard to the Waialae Monitor Well (1747-04), it appears that the approved well construction permit was issued by the CWRM but not returned to your office. A signed copy of the permit is included in this letter to complete your records for this well.

I I With regard to Aahoaka (022Z-01), Maalo Rd (0123-01), and Upper Eleele (5534-06) Monitoring Wells on Kauai, we would like to request an after-the-fact extension for the completion of these wells. The wells have been drilled but casing was not installed. We expect to install the casing the next time the USGS-Water Department drill rig is on Kauai; this is currently scheduled for mid-summer of this year. Therefore, we request an extension until October 2001 for the submission of well completion reports for these three wells.

/,

With regard to the Ahualoa Plant (6331-01) Well on Hawaii, it is unlikely that we will be able to return to this site and complete the well before January 2002. We therefore request an extension until July of 2002 for the submission of the well completion report for thi~ well.

Also included with this letter are two well construction applications for exploratory wells we hope to drill in the Kula area of Maui starting in November 2000. As written, the applications are in compliance with the minimum standards for surface casing depth (500 feet in this case). However, as I noted in a letter of February 17, 2000, to your office, I would like to open a dialog regarding the necessity of requiring such deep casing for wells used only for exploration and

o o

Ms. Linnel Nishioka Page 2

monitoring. Although we are willing to comply with the 500 ft requirement for wells of this depth, we believe that an outer casing depth of 200 ft is sufficient to protect ground-water quality. If possible, we would like to explore a waiver or variance for non-pumping wells in general, or at least for these wells in particular.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to resolve some of the historical sloppy record keeping and permit compliance issues by this office. I appreciate your understanding and the cooperation of your staff as we work together to resolve outstanding issues. As always, please contact me at 587-2405 regarding potential questions or problems regarding these issues.

Dear Mr. Johns:

fJiis letter is a request for permission for the USGS to drill a monitoring well on land owned by the State of Hawaii. The proposed well will be located on a lot used by the Hawaii County Department of' Hater Supply (TMK 4-6-11-38) for its Ahualoa Filter Plant. It is my understanding that at sometime in the future the parcel is due to be turned over to the Department of Water Supply under an El:ecutive Order.

The well constJUction will be carried out as part of the USGS Cooperative Drilling Program that we have with sl~veral water departments in the State. The well will be used for exploration and monitoring purposes only.

It' you concur v lith this request, please sign the enclosed well construction permit as the landowner and retum it to us at your earliest convenience_ We have completed a monitoring well at Waiaka and hO':>e to be able to start work at Ahualoa soon.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Respectfully.

Dear Mr. Johns:

This letter is a request for permission for the USGS to drill a monitoring well on land owned by the State of Hawaii. The proposed well will be located on a lot used by the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply (TMK 4-6-11-38) for its Ahualoa Filter Plant. It is my understanding that at sometime in the future the parcel is due to be turned over to the Department of Water Supply under an Executive Order.

The well construction will be carried out as part of the USGS Cooperative Drilling Program that we have with several water departments in the State. The well will be used for exploration and monitoring purposes only. '

If you concur with this request, please sign the enclosed well construction permit as the landowner and return it to us at your earliest convenience. We have completed a monitoring well at Waiaka and hope to be able to start work at Ahualoa soon.


Respectfully,

/rl:::;;::.l~ 11"# Acting District Chief

Department of Land and Natural Resources Commission on Water Resource Management P.O. Box 621 Honolulu, Haw iii 96809

Dear Mr. Johns

This letter is a lequest for permission for the USGS to drill a monitoring wen on land owned by the State of Ha'.vaii. The proposed well will be located on a lot used by the Hawaii County Department of' Nater Supply (TMK 4-6-11-38) for its Ahualoa Filter Plant. It is my understanding that at sometime in the future the parcel is due to be turned over to the Department of Water Supply under an E}:ecutive Order.

The well constJUction will be carried out as part of the USGS Cooperative Drilling Program that we have with s ~veral water departments in the State. The well will be used for exploration and monitoring pur poses only.

If you concur \lith this request, please sign the enclosed well construction permit as the landowner and return it to us at your earliest convenience. We have completed a monitoring well at Waiaka and hO[le to be able to start work at Ahualoa soon.

This well qualifies as a source which will serve as a source of potable water to a public water system (servinQ 25 or more people at least 60 days per year or has 15 or more service connectionsl and must receive Director of Health approval ~~or to Its use to comply with Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR), Title 11, Chapter 20, Ru es Relating to Potable Water Systems, §11-20- .

This well does not qualify as a source serving a public water system (serves less than 25 people or more people at least 60 days per year or 15 service connections) and if the well water is used for drinking, the private owner should test for bacteriological and chemical presence before initiating such use and routinely monitor the water quality thereafter. However, if future planned use from this source Increases to meet the public water system definition then Director of Hearth approval is required prior to Implementation.

If the well is used to supply both potable and non-potable purposes in a single system, the user shall eliminate cross-connections and backflow connections by physically separating potable and non-potable systems by an air \lap or an approved backflow preventer, and by clearly labeling all non-potable spigots with waming signs to prevent inadvertent consumption of non-potable water. Backflow prevention devices should be routinely inspected and tested.

It does not appear that this well will be used for consumptive purposes and is not subject to Safe Drinking Water Regulations.

For the applicant's information, a source of possible wastewater contamination [Jis [J Is not located near the proposed well site (informallon attached).

Other relevant DOH rules/regulations, information, or recommendations are attached.
