Notice of Intent Forms

Prior to filing a Notice of Intent (NOI) with us, check with your local permitting agency to ensure you are drilling in compliance with the requirements. Some areas may require additional fees or a property owner to connect to a public water supplier.

“For more information on the regulations see: “Streamflow Restoration”

You'll need the following information:

  • Tax Parcel Number
  • Property Owner's Mailing Address
  • Well Construction Site Street Address
  • Proposed Type of Well (i.e. Domestic, Group Domestic, Stock Water, Irrigation, etc.)
  • Public Land Survey Information (Township, Range, Section, Quarter and Quarter-quarter) – This information can often be found on the county assessor’s site through either the legal description or their mapping tools. If you need help with this information, please email us at wclo@ecy.wa.gov or call (360) 764-9603.

Wells Without Fees

Instructions
  1. Fill out the form using the appropriate link below.
  2. Provide a valid e-mail address for us to send your validation.
  3. As soon as Ecology receives your form, we will send your validation to the email address you provided.
  4. Environmental Investigation wells and Geotechnical Soil Borings are decommissioned immediately after construction; we recently changed the way our forms page works to take this into account. You will now get two PDFs when you complete your Notice of Intent - one for the construction and one for the decommissioning. You no longer need to fill out two forms with the same information, just fill out your Notice of Intent to construct and we'll take care of the rest.

That's it! No need to mail anything and you won't have to wait for us to mail back your validation. Remember this is ONLY for wells that do NOT require a FEE. Using electronic forms for wells without a fee will save at least 7 to 10 days of process and mail time.
