Since
1990 a valid permit to drill, destroy, deepen, or recondition a water well is required in Modoc County. Permits
are obtained from the EHD after acceptance of a completed application, plot plan, and fees. EHD inspector must finalize
the completion of each well permit.
Section 13750.5
of the California Water Code requires that any person digging, boring, drilling, deepening, reconditioning, or destroying
a water well, cathodic protection well or monitoring well possess a C-57 Water Well Contractors License. A well permit must
clearly identify the driller and C-57 contractor's license number.
All Well logs are kept confindential. The
Owner is the only one that can obtain a Well log.

Suggested
Steps To Developing a Piece of Property 1. Stake out and flag your property boundaries. Then draw a map (to scale)
on graph paper.
2. Identify the required easements/right of ways, as well as all Subdivision CC&R's requirements
(if applicable) that apply toyour piece of property (usually found on your property's deed).
a. Add these to your map
3. Now go to the Planning Department and Identify Zoning
and Use limitaion, as well as State Responsibility Area setbacks/requirements (if applicable).
a.
Add these to your map
4. Once you have drawn a map identifying all the setbacks which apply, contact Environmental
Health to find out how to have a Percolation Test done to see if your parcel's soil is suitable to sustain an On-site
Sewage Disposal System (if needed).
a. If the Percolation Test is approved, and all
the required setbacks are met, then a Permit for the construction of an On-site Sewage Disposal System will be issued.
b. In addition to the above, a Well Installation Permit must be obtained before the construction
of a well. After you get the permit for a septic system we recommend that a well be drilled before the installation
of an On-site Sewage Disposal System in order to ensure water availability.
c. Both a Well
Permit and an On-site Sewage Disposal System Permit must
be issued before a Building Permit will be issued.
5. Once you have updated your map with the sewage disposal and well areas, and have permits, contact the Building
Department in order to find out their requirements for obtaining a building permit.
