Filling In A Well And A Basement

When Chris 'splains the vision for the property, say WHAT?!!!!! He not only knows what the property will be, he knows how to make it happen. Still think Chris needs to teach the reality of excavation, civil engineering, pond reclamation/installation, equipment operation, etc. at the local technical college/university. He ROCKS!!!! 👍 P.S. Everyone, my teaching comment was for an adjunct position....one course, once a year - not full-time. As a former faculty member, we ALWAYS appreciated having students hear from professionals and not run-of-the-mill textbook stuff....especially, with a specialization like Chris has. Thanks to everyone who has commented. Much appreciated. P.P.S. Teaching an adjunct course is not about the money, but for "giving-back" and building talent for the industry.

I would have recommended filling up the well with washed #57 stone then cap it with concrete. Uncompacted screenings can settle over time, and the concrete cap will help keep out any potential contamination to the groundwater.

speaking of old wells. I had a job to dig around a old house basement and seal the block. i was directing my back hoe operator as we under mining the power line. I'm standing near the back arm of my back hoe when the ground starts going down. thank God i was able to push off of the machine. a 60 well was right at the corner of the house the owner did no know about. about $1,500 later we had done what the county requires to abandon a well . wash stone 15ft up. then fill with concrete .

[@jfinnall]

I wonder if the hole in the barn was the start of a service pit for vehicle maintenance. Back in the day they were very common. Just pull a vehicle or tractor inside the barn over the pit and then walk down the stairs into the pit to work on the equipment overhead. The pits were four to six feet deep and usually lined with concrete on both sides and bottom. Had to support the weight of the vehicle without collapsing the pit around someone.

[@00taohio85]

I am a geologist currently in Ohio I have abandoned hundreds of wells. Each state has different rules for abandonment. Also each state has specific definitions of what a well is. It is easy enough to look up the specific regulations. It may not be a good idea to put the well closing on KZbin it could lead to problems with the regulators. Depending on what state you are working in. I have abandoned wells in ohio, Arkansas, California, Florida and Indiana. The regulations vary from having to use a licensed well driller to a professional geologist. Best be careful the fines can be large.
