zb <br />Finding #7 <br />The results of the two studies with the USGS provide sufficient data for plans and policy <br />recommendations to be developed to ensure sustainable use of the resource., <br />Findi~ na #8 <br />While well construction standards in the County exceed State standards, diligence is <br />needed to ensure that new wells are appropriately sited and constructed to the degree <br />that wastewater systems are addressed. In ,particular, new development proposals <br />currently are required to address' the availability of acceptable soils for wastewater <br />(septic) systems, but no such. set of requirements exist to addressing water availability for <br />wells prior to development. . <br />Finding #8 <br />The X99b USGS study provides data and examples that can be used to evaluate the <br />available ground water supply by watershed, and site new wells appropriately. The effect <br />of dense develapment could cause a net reduction in ground water recharge rates and in <br />baseflow to streams, thus reducing supplies and storages. <br />Finding #9 <br />Well plumbing design and maintenance are important components of well construction. <br />Good pump system installation, the appropriate sizing of well pumps and balancing the <br />pumping rate to in flow can help to address these issues. <br />Finding #10 <br />Ground water and surface water quantity and quality are inextricably inter-related. <br />Ground water represents the source of up to 50% of stream flaw. In order to ensure that <br />the use of available ground water does not exceed availability (i.e., demand not exceeds <br />supply), future planning for water resources must recognize the inter-relationship and <br />address ground water and surface water protection as two parts of the same whole. <br />19 <br />
