When my well was drilled, the drilling team said that they had to file a form with the state when they were done, showing where the well is.
No paperwork was done before they drilled, only after. And then it was just a form to be filed. No application, and nobody requested anything.
I just looked in my book. Maine does require a permit. If they filed a log, they had a permit, or it was before the law was passed. In Michigan some counties did not require permits ten years ago.
I have a building permit for my house, which includes a soil engineering statement and septic design form for the septic system.
The septic system was not in existence when the well was drilled.
I did not have a street address number assigned at that time.
I do not think that they used any kind of GPS to annotate the location of the well they drilled.
The information going to the state about my well would be: depth and lot number.
The information the state has about my septic system is likewise limited to my lot number.
My lot size is 42 acres.
The well was drilled in 2005.
It is possible that the well driller carries a stack of 'permits' in the cab of his truck, and just fills them out as he is finishing, with the drilled depth and the property's tax lot number.
In Michigan we do use a GPS number with Wellogic. My permits I get on line and pay by credit card. I have drilled hundreds of wells with no address. Some will never have them, hunting camps, things like that.
