Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Well Standards: Del Norte County Bulletin No. 7h-3, Recommended Minimum water well Construction and Sealing Standards for the Protection of Ground Water Quality, Del Norte County, gives the results of a comprehensive Ground water Quality Investigation conducted throughout Del Norte County. This is the final report incorporating the comments and recommendations of cooperating agencies and individuals on our preliminary edition of March l96h. The investigation was conducted under authority of Section 231 of the water code and at the request of interested agencies operating in the County. This is one of a series of reports designed to formulate and recommend water well construction and sealing standards for particular localities of the State where regulation is deemed necessary for the protection of ground water quality. In Del Norte County, where no such regulation exists, many water wells which have been improperly con structed or abandoned are contributing to quality impairment of ground water. The report concludes that water well construction and sealing standards should be adopted and enforced. The recommended standards presented are based on geologic, hydrologic, and water quality condi tions and well construction practices found in Del Norte County. These standards are similar to and should supplement the minimum standards presented in Bulletin No. 7h entitled, Recommended Minimum Well Con struction and Sealing Standards for the Protection of Ground Water Quality, State of California. The report recommends adoption of water well construction and sealing standards in Del Norte County. The report also recommends continuation of investigational work by the local agencies, leading to the identification and correction of existing improperly constructed and abandoned water wells.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Well Standards, State of California Our ground water resources are becoming increasingly important to all Californians. In an ordinary year, about 40 percent of the water used in the State is derived from underground sources. During the 1976-77 drought, however, that figure rose to 53 percent. To ensure the continued utility of our underground resources, they must be protected. Standards for both the construction of water wells and the destruction of abandoned wells can help protect ground water quality. Furthermore, deficiencies in the design and construction of wells usually result in higher operating and maintenance costs. The establishment and implementation of well standards in an area provide more assurance that wells are likely to require less maintenance and will have longer useful lives. Since the initial printing of these standards in February 1968, 30 counties and 132 cities have enacted ordinances, based on Bulletin 74, governing the construction, alteration, and destruction of all water wells within their boundaries. (At that time, three other counties already had ordinances in effect.) These ordinances specify that water wells be constructed, or destroyed when their useful lives are over, in accordance with the guidelines contained in the Department of Water Resources' standards. Changes in the field of well construction (methods, equipment and materials), together with the experiences of applying the 1968 standards, warrant revising and updating them. As a result, this new edition is being issued. Counties and cities that have not yet done so are urged to consider enacting well construction standards to protect the quality of ground water supplies for the benefit of their citizens. Where standards are in effect, consideration should be given to revising them to reflect the modifications presented in this bulletin.

Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Well Standards: Water Wells, Monitoring Wells, Cathodic Protection Wells During an average year about forty percent of California's water supply comes from ground water. Ground water is used for agricultural, industrial, domestic, and municipal water supplies. Protecting the quality of California's ground water is essential to California's future. Improperly constructed wells can allow pollution of ground water to the point that the water is either unusable or it requires expensive treatment. The California Water Code requires the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to develop minimum standards for water wells, monitoring wells, and cathodic protection wells to protect ground water quality. This bulletin is a supplement to DWR Bulletin 74-81, Water Well Standards: State of California, December 1981. Standards in Bulletin 74-81 and this bulletin are minimum requirements for construction, alteration, maintenance, and destruction of water wells, monitoring wells, and cathodic protection wells in California. This bulletin was prepared in cooperation with the State Water Resources Control Board. The Board adopted a model water well, monitoring well, and cathodic protection well ordinance that implements DWR well standards. All California cities and counties, and some water agencies are required to enact local well ordinances that meet or exceed DWR standards, or they must enforce the Boards model ordinance as if it were their own. Sometimes well standards adopted by local agencies must be more stringent than DWR's statewide standards because of local conditions. Local agencies play a critical role in protecting ground water quality. Continued cooperation is needed between the public, industry, local agencies, and the State to ensure that these well standards remain adequate and are put into practice. California's water supply future depends on this cooperation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Moisture Control Guidance for Building Design Construction and Maintenance written by American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moisture control is fundamental to the proper functioning of any building. Controlling moisture is important to protect occupants from adverse health effects and to protect the building, its mechanical systems and its contents from physical or chemical damage. Yet, moisture problems are so common in buildings, many people consider them inevitable. Excessive moisture accumulation plagues buildings throughout the United States, from tropical Hawaii to arctic Alaska and from the hot, humid Gulf Coast to the hot, dry Sonoran Desert. Between 1994 and 1998, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation (BASE) study collected information about the indoor air quality of 100 randomly selected public and private office buildings in the 10 U.S. climatic regions.
