(a)

Start cards submitted electronically shall be transmitted by a Department-approved method and shall be submitted before beginning construction, alteration, conversion or abandonment work of any monitor well.

(b)

By regular mail no later than three (3) calendar days (72 hours) prior to commencement of work; or

(c)

By hand delivery, during regular office hours, before beginning the construction, alteration, conversion or abandonment work on any monitoring well; or

(d)

By facsimile transmission (FAX) before beginning the construction, alteration, conversion or abandonment work on any monitoring well. If this method is used, a legible copy of the start card shall also be mailed or delivered to the appropriate OWRD region office no later than the day work is commenced.

(2)

The fee required under ORS 537.762 (Report of constructor before beginning work on well)(5) for the construction of a new well, deepening of an existing well, conversion of a water supply well, geotechnical hole or other hole shall be submitted to the Department’s Salem office with a duplicate copy of the start card. A duplicate start card is not required if the start card fee is included with a start card submitted electronically under Section (1)(a) of this rule.

(3)

If a start card has been filed under section (1) and (2) of this rule and additional wells are required on the same or contiguous tax lot and for the same landowner, then start cards for the additional wells shall be filed no later than the day work begins.

(4)

The Director or region office may provide an alternate means of notification. If an alternative means of notification is used, the start card shall be mailed or delivered to the region office within one week of beginning work on the monitoring well. A Monitoring Well Constructor whose license has been restricted by order shall provide notice as stipulated in the order.

(5)

Once received by the Department, the start card shall be confidential for a period of one year after it is received or until the monitoring well report required by OAR 690-240-0395 (Monitoring Well Report Required (Monitoring Well Log)) is received, whichever is shorter.

(6)

The start card may be used in an administrative enforcement action at any time, including the period of confidentiality. Once the start card is used for enforcement reasons, it is no longer confidential.
