(415 ILCS 30/6a) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 116.116a)
Sec. 6a.
Prohibitions.
Beginning January 1, 1988, no new
non-community, semi-private or private water system well may be located within
200 feet of any potential primary or potential secondary source or any
potential route. This prohibition does not apply to any new private water
system well where the owner is the same for both the well and a potential
secondary source or a potential route. In such instances, the Department shall
apply a prohibition of 75 feet and shall inform the well owner of the potential
hazards associated with the location of a well in close proximity to a
potential source or potential route. Nothing in this
Section shall affect any location and construction requirement imposed in
Section 6 of this Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. The
Department may grant an exception to the prohibitions in this Section where
the owner is the same for both the well and a potential primary or
potential secondary source or a potential route. Such exception may only
be granted if a demonstration is provided by the owner of the potable water
well that applicable protective measures will be utilized to minimize the
potential for contamination of the well, and if the resulting well
installation can be expected to provide a continuously safe and sanitary water supply.
