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.
