Standard forms for the record shall be provided by the board. A record for a drive point well where no earth materials are removed from the well bore shall be sufficient if the owner's name, well location, depth, casing, static water level and screen data are indicated. Such records shall bear the signed statement of the local director of health that he has approved such well.
(b) Drilling, excavating and pumping associated with the oil, gas or brine well industries and the construction, quarrying and mining industries and the disposal of any materials shall be subject to this chapter only insofar as they relate to the pollution and depletion of underground water resources.
(c) Within sixty days, or other period established by the board, after completion of a non-water-supply well, a well drilling contractor shall provide the owner, the board, the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection and the local director of health or his agent with a copy of a record indicating the well owner's name and address, well depth, geologic materials and thickness of materials penetrated, amount and type of casing, static water levels, a site map indicating the location of the well and any other information which may be required by the regulations adopted under section 25-128.
