Water well log information is confidential in California, but is not considered confidential information in any other state. Should water well log information be considered confidential in California?


Current State law requires a Licensed Water Well Driller who constructs, alters, or destroys a water well, cathodic protection well, groundwater monitoring well, or geothermal heat exchange well to file a report of completion with DWR within 60 days. The current DWR requirements allow filing of a paper report, which may be hand-written and mailed with a hand-drawn map of the well location. In the future, should water well log reporting requirements be revised to require electronic reporting and accurate geographic position coordinates of the well location?


Should reporting requirements and standards for water wells, cathodic protection wells, groundwater monitoring wells, and geothermal heat exchange wells in California be revised to improve the usefulness, quality and usability of the information being collected (hydrogeologic, location, etc)?
