What are the recommended procedures for abandonment of wells?
A. The DEQ does not have regulations covering the abandonment of groundwater monitoring wells. The DEQ recommends the use of the ASTM International Guide D5299-99 Standard Guide for Decommissioning of Ground Water Wells, Vadoze Zone Monitoring Devices, Boreholes, and Other Devices for Environmental Activities. For further information on well abandonment check the Nebraska Department of Health Guidelines for Decommissioning Water Wells.
