GROUNDWATER PROTECTION NOTICE

DRILLING PERMITS FOR CATHODIC PROTECTION BOREHOLES

Pursuant to the Cathodic Protection Regulations effective May 14, 2004, an approved drilling permit must be obtained from the Big Bend Groundwater Management District No. 5 BEFORE a cathodic protection borehole is drilled and constructed. While reviewing the cathodic protection rules and regulations prior to application, pay special attention, as Big Bend GMD #5 has District specific rules and regulations. For example, the District requires a surface casing to have a standard dimension ration (SDR) of 21 or less, whereas KCC requires an SDR of 26 or less.

WHO MUST FILE FORM CP-10 OR CP-15 FOR DRILLING PERMIT
Any person planning to drill and construct a cathodic protection borehole that will penetrate the water table of an aquifer within the boundaries of the Big Bend Groundwater Management District No. 5 must file either form CP-10 (cased borehole) or CP-15 (uncased borehole) (Application for Permit to Drill and Construct a Cathodic Protection Borehole.) Please refer to the location map on this page for District boundaries.
Contact the Big Bend Groundwater Management District No. 5 for an applicants information kit, or print appropriate forms from this website. Filing fee is not required.
