26-006: Ensuring Sustainable Withdrawal
Adam Freihoefer
1 PIP, WD, WDRO, HEDI, HEDRO Credit

Do you know if you’re drilling on a high capacity well property, and what requirements apply? This session covers Wisconsin’s high capacity well application process, the regulatory framework, and technical review procedures, along with the role of the DNR’s Water Use Section. Attendees will also explore current trends and review real case studies highlighting common challenges.

26-007: Ensuring the Hole You Drill Makes a Good Well
Dave Johnson
1 PIP, WD, WDRO, HEDI, HEDRO Credit

This presentation will discuss the types of water quality problems ranging from natural contaminants like arsenic and metals to anthropogenic contamination. It will then move to resources that are available to aid in fixing these problems and how to design wells around potential issues. A number of new statewide graphs and visual materials will be shown and explained.

26-008: Water Well Rehabilitation
Troy Simonar
1 PIP, WD, WDRO, HEDI, HEDRO Credit

Well rehabilitation is often overlooked due to time and perceived cost. Water wells routinely require maintenance to maintain specific capacity. All wells will lose capacity over time, and understanding the processes to rehabilitate a well will provide greater value for your company.
