What additional requirement must monitoring well construction meet if groundwater contamination is present?

Monitoring wells constructed in areas where groundwater contamination is detected must comply with specific construction standards known as Monitoring and Recovery Well construction standards. This requirement ensures that the wells are designed to effectively monitor the groundwater quality and facilitate the recovery of contaminants if necessary. These standards take into consideration factors such as the well's depth, materials used, and construction techniques to ensure that they provide accurate data on groundwater conditions and prevent further contamination. By focusing on these standards, monitoring wells can provide reliable information regarding the extent of contamination and guide remediation efforts effectively.
