Class 3C well grouting requiements
 

I have read the updated proposed well regs concerning the grouting requirements for a class 3C well to now be pumped through a tremie pipe. I strongly oppose this as the state has allowed 3/8” bentonite chips to be poured 20’ for many years. We live in a fairly rural area and probably 90%  of our wells are class 3C. The pouring of bentonite chips has always been an effective and trouble free way of grouting for our company and many around us. I feel like the proposed pumping of grout for class 3C wells needs to definitely be reviewed further. Thank you
