Yes, a well that is drilled by your Kodiak crew is exempt if all of the following conditions are met:
- It must not be more than 3.0 meters deep.
- It must not be constructed in a contaminated area.
- It must not be in an area where an artesian well is likely to develop.
- It must not penetrate a formation that is not an aquifer (such as a confining formation).
However, even exempt holes that are to be abandoned.
