Code Chapter 40D-3, for an individual well by making written request which must include those specific requirements from which a variance is requested, any alternate or substitute methods or conditions considered appropriate, and reasons why the variance is considered necessary. When submitting an abandonment plan as part of a variance request to the District, the contractor shall supply any available logs, including but not limited to caliper, natural gamma and lithologic logs of the hole.
(3) The Executive Director or his designee shall grant a variance if the request is not contrary to accepted public health and sanitary engineering practices and will not adversely affect the water resource. The variance shall be the minimum necessary to ameliorate the hardship.
