Well Permitting

Please print legibly and answer all questions. If you do not know an answer, consult with your driller. Your driller should be able to provide coordinates and well information.

You must include a map that clearly indicates the area you plan to irrigate. Label what you plan to water (e.g., rice, hay, trees, waterfowl, pond). Use a highlighter and/or pen to label these ares. Google Earth provides a free program that can help with coordintes and maps. Applications must be notarized.
