Licensing of wells for water. The depth of the well subject to licensing

If terrestrial resources are extracted unauthorized, then this is punishable by law. This refers to the creation of deep wells for obtaining water. The license for subsoil use should be available to all owners, individuals and legal entities. Thanks to the document, this right is confirmed for a specific period and within its territory.

Why do I need a license?

The state is engaged in the account of natural resources and fossils, which includes drinking water. Therefore, all wells are entered in the register, and it is assigned a registration number. But users are taking another question: will there be enough water to meet all needs?

That the well worked qualitatively, its design and construction should be trusted by professionals who perform the job of instruction. You can obtain the necessary information about water by performing research that is carried out when obtaining documentation.

Licensing of wells will help to prevent large expenditures on:

• Creation of unplanned wells;
• Repair and restoration of incorrectly created wells;
• Designing a complex and expensive system;
• Payment of fines.

What information is in the license?

If planning the installation of a water supply system, then a license must be registered. When a well is sanded, documentation is not required. The license will contain the following data:

• Information about the recipient;
• Designation of the development;
• Grounds for issuing documentation;
• water volume;
• Location;
• Geological information;
• time of action;
• terms of payment.

In addition, it includes the terms of work and the requirements for the safe use of subsoil. Changes in the documentation are carried out only with the help of the relevant authorities.

Obtaining a license

The procedure for obtaining documentation is lengthy, as the future owner of the well needs to gather a lot of information, often which will be available after the survey is completed. Also, work must be coordinated with the relevant authorities.

Licensing of wells will pass quietly, if for this involve a proven organization. Its employees should be aware of the peculiarities of the occurrence of artesian waters in various territories. Specialists will independently be engaged in the collection of documentation and the coordination of work. The involvement of professionals in this activity gives a guarantee for obtaining high quality water.

What does the organization do?

Licensing of water wells for individuals is carried out after the organization of the following work:

• Creation of a technical passport;
• Implementation of geophysical studies: the results are entered in the technical passport;
• The implementation of the survey of the site by the sanitary and epidemiological station with the registration of the relevant document;
• Analysis of water for all necessary parameters: information is entered in the technical passport.

When the drilling works are completed, the company checks the availability of water and its compliance with quality. Then all documentation is provided to the licensing authority.

What documents are needed from the owner?

The list of documents for individuals and legal entities is different. In the first case, you must provide a personal passport and documentation for the site, which includes:

• Title documents: lease or ownership;
• Master plan of development;
• Cadastral plan;
• Situational plan with the infrastructure indicated in it.

For legal entities it is required:

• Special application;
• Requisites of the enterprise;
• Information about the head;
• Certificate of incorporation;
• The charter;
• Certificate of entry in the register;
• Constituent documentation;
• Sheet from the statistic;
• A document on taxation;
• Document on the absence of debt on payments.

If there is already an unformed well, then it should be legalized. It should be noted that licensing is not free. Its cost depends on the work on assessing the hydrogeological situation on the territory, drawing up a report based on this activity. It is believed that it is much more profitable to immediately issue a license for the construction of a well, otherwise you will have to pay a fine.

Which wells require a license?

It should be noted that there are wells subject to licensing, and for some it is not required. Under the law, water is considered an important resource, and therefore its use is protected by the state. The authorities control the regulation of the level and quality of resource consumption.

To date, there are several types of wells, and not each requires a license. The most popular include:

• Sandy;
• Abyssinian;
• Artesian.

For a household well, which has a superficial application, a license is not required. The first type of equipment is the most common of household. This well is drilled to 30 meters. Its main task is to access the upper layers, which are almost everywhere. To create such a well, no special equipment is needed, because of this and licensing is not required.

Abyssinian wells have a simpler structure, and the depth of their occurrence is 10-15 meters. In this case, the license is also not needed. These sources are lower in performance than others, so they can not be dangerous for nature.

Licensing of artesian wells is necessary, since these structures are more complex. If the work is done by professionals, then the water will flow qualitatively. The depth of the well, subject to licensing, is 50 meters.

But usually at this level the water is sparse, so a source of 80-120 meters is required. The liquid must be extracted from limestone layers. It has a high pressure, which causes limitations in operation and operation. Licensing of the well is necessary, because unintended use can cause unpleasant consequences.

Before installation, it is necessary to determine the type of well, since this affects not only the price, but also the way the work is done, as well as the need for a license. Trust work should be specialists, since this affects the receipt of quality water.

Types of wells

Depending on the action, the sources are intended for:

• Watering the garden;
• Economic purposes;
• Water flow to the cottage;
• Water supply of enterprises;
• Household purposes;
• Reception of potable water.

Principles of Licensing

There are rules that are necessary for licensing wells. The procedure is not carried out if:

• On the territory of 200 meters there are sources of biological contamination;
• Within 30 meters the types of structure and plants;
• In 300 meters there are sources of chemical contamination.

The well is not installed where the pipelines are located in the first ground. The same applies to those cases where the soil is fertilized and exposed to chemicals. The territory should have a fence. If the site is suitable for the installation of a well, then it is possible to submit documents for the source equipment safely.

What does the law say?

In 2015, a new law on the licensing of wells was adopted. It says what a well can work without a license. Owners of land plots can use minerals that are located on their territory without using blasting for their own needs within their boundaries. The volume of extraction should not be more than 100 cubic meters. Meters per day. The depth of the well, subject to licensing, is 5 meters.

For personal use is meant the use for their own purposes, not related to entrepreneurial activity. Common fossils and waters located within the land plot can not be alienated or transferred from one person to another. If they are applied for entrepreneurial activity, then the license is required. It turns out that licensing of water wells for individuals is not always required.

Depth of wells

The depth of wells subject to licensing is from 5 meters. If it is less than these limits, documentation is not required. And no one can be fined for this. A license is not required for wells and wells at 1 aquifer unless they are included in the source of central water supply.

And if there is no license?

The legislation provides for punishment for the use of a well without a license:

• If there is no document, then you have to pay 3-5 thousand rubles;
• If the conditions of use are violated, then a fine of 2-3 thousand rubles is imposed, for officials - 20-40 thousand rubles, for legal - 300-500 thousand rubles.

Features of the license

The type of work depends on the validity period of the license. The document is valid for water extraction for 25 years, but the time can be changed depending on the quality of the soil and other factors. If it is provided for geological study, then the validity period is 5 years.

The license for subsoil use has a time of action, which is determined from technical and economic factors, the use and conservation of subsoil. If they are produced on a short-term basis, the document is valid for up to a year. In the construction of underground facilities and their use, a license is also granted, but not limited in duration.

Cost of Licensing

The price of a well license is determined from a variety of factors. It depends on the soil, the type of device and the terrain. The cost is in the range of 100-180 thousand rubles. Although the amount is quite high, but it will be calmer. Otherwise, a fine will be issued, and still have to execute the registration.

When you need to renew the license, then its owner must submit the same list of documents as in the design. This procedure will cost about 100-150 thousand rubles. Registration will allow you to use water legally.
