Preparation of a Drinking Water Survey Report

well is known, suspected, or presumed to be present, conduct a door-to-
door survey.
Note: Since a door-to-door survey has to be conducted only in the three
specified instances, it is generally not necessary to conduct a door-to-door
survey in all areas within the known extent of a fully defined groundwater
contaminant plume or within 0.25 miles of an undefined groundwater
contaminant plume.
During the door-to-door survey, collect the latitude and longitude
coordinates of the well, obtain the current mailing address and telephone
number for the owner(s) and user(s), and determine the use of each water
well. If known by the owner(s) or user(s), collect other information about
the well, including the date of installation, well completion details, and
the status of the well.
Use the information obtained to complete your Drinking Water Survey
Report's Table 1 (Water Well Information), created through the procedures
described in Appendix B. Clearly distinguish information that was
obtained through discussions with the owner(s) or user(s) from
information that was obtained from well reports. Instructions for
collecting and submitting the latitude and longitude coordinates
as well as other well details can be found at the following Web page:
<www.tceq.state.tx.us/goto/pdw_ surveyreports>. This information must
also be submitted in electronic format, as Attachment 6 of the Drinking
Water Survey Report.
Step 4: Prepare and Submit the Drinking Water Survey Report
Report Format and Submission
The Drinking Water Survey Report does not require a significant amount
of text. Rather, it calls for a small amount of text and a comprehensive
graphic and tabular presentation of data.
Submit the original and one copy of the Drinking Water Survey Report to
the appropriate program of the RD. Include with these a CD of the
requested electronic files. Submit another copy of the Drinking Water
Survey Report to the appropriate TCEQ Regional Office. You do not need
to include a CD with this copy. A list of TCEQ Regional Offices and
contact information can be found at <www.tceq.state.tx.us/goto/maps>.
Please note that the Remediation Division verifies whether reports that are
submitted to the agency include a professional geoscientist's seals, when
required by law. For information on what constitutes geoscience and the
requirements for licensing as a geoscientist, please refer to the Web site of
the Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists, at <www.tbpg.state.tx.us>.
