44. "Recovery well" means any well that is constructed for the purpose of removing contaminated groundwater or other liquids from the subsurface. 45. "Repair"(means the term as defined in G.S. 87-85 and includes work involved in Comment[VH19]:NEW STATE DEFINITION/ deepening, reaming, sealing, installing or changing casing depths, perforating, OCHD EXISTING REVISED screening, cleaning, acidizing, hydro-fracturing, or redevelopment of a well excavation, or any other work which results in breaking or opening the well seal. 46. "Repair permit"(means a well repair permit issued by DCHD authorizing or allowing Comment[VHzo]:NEW STATE DEFINITION/ the repair of any well as defined in the Rules of this Section. OCHD EXISTING REVISED 47. "Settleable solids"means the volume of solid particles in a well-mixed one liter sample which will settle out of suspension, in the bottom of an Imhoff Cone, after one hour. 48. "Site" means the land or water area where any facility, activity or situation is physically located, including adjacent or other land used in connection with the facility, activity or situation. 49. "Site plan"(means a drawing not necessarily drawn to scale that shows the existing Comment[VH211:NEW STATE DEFINITION/ and proposed property lines with dimensions, and the specific location of all OCHD EXISTING REVISED structures and proposed structures and appurtenances, including decks, porches, pools, driveways, out buildings,existing and proposed wastewater systems, existing and proposed wells,springs,water lines, surface waters or designated wetlands, easements, including utility easements, and existing or proposed chemical or petroleum storage tanks above or below ground. 50. "Specific capacity" means the yield of the well expressed in gallons per minute per foot of draw-down of the water level (gpm/FT-dd). 51. "Static water level" means the level at which the water stands in the well when the well is not being pumped and is expressed as the distance from the land surface to the water level in the well. 52. "Suspended solids" means the weight of those solid particles in a sample which are retained by a standard glass microfiber filter,with pore openings of one and one-half microns,when dried at a temperature of 103 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. 53. "Temporary well"or"test well" means a well, other than a water supply well, that is constructed to determine aquifer characteristics, and which will be permanently abandoned or converted to a permanent well within seven days(168 hours)of the completion of drilling of the borehole. 54. "Turbidity" means the cloudiness in water, due to the presence of suspended particles such as clay and silt that may create esthetic problems or analytical difficulties for determining contamination. Turbidity, measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU), is based on a comparison of the cloudiness in the water with that in a specially prepared standard. 55. "Vent" means a protected opening in the well casing or well head, installed for the purpose of allowing changes in the water level in a well due to natural atmospheric 10
