How much time is allowed to prepare a wellhead protection plan?
The minimum time is two years after entering the wellhead protection program. Additional six-month blocks of time are automatically awarded on a cumulative basis when (1) a system has multiple wells, (2) there is a lack of state and federal funding to support wellhead protection planning, (3) the public water supply system is privately owned, (4) the wellhead protection area is in more than two governmental jurisdictions, and (5) the pumping of a well in another system affects the boundaries of the wellhead protection area.
