Enter the name of the person or business who commissioned the construction of the well. You can search using partial names as well.
Example: Entering "A SMITH" will return records such as "VIRGINIA SMITH, and "TOM A SMITH."
The Well Street Address is the address of the property at the time and place when the well was constructed. You can perform a partial search by entering a portion of the address.
Example, entering "1234 Adams St" the system will bring back records that contain this string somewhere in the address.
The Completed Depth is the finished depth of a well. Search only to the nearest foot.
To specify the range of depths for which you are searching. Enter the beginning range in the field on the left and the ending depth in the field on the right.
To find only well reports with a specific depth, enter the same depth in both fields.
To find well reports under a specific depth, supply a single depth in the field on the right.
To find well reports over a specific depth, supply a single depth in the field on the left.

The date the type of well action (e.g., new, deepened, abandoned, etc.) reported on the well report was completed.
To specify the date range for which you are searching, enter a beginning date in the field on the left and an end date date in the field on the right using a MM/DD/YYYY format.

The date the well report report was received by the Water Resources Program. The further you go back in time, the less likely it is that a received date was stamped onto the well report.

Use this search results criterion to specify what type of well report you want the search results to include. The choices are:
All Well Reports,
Only Water Well Reports,
Only Resource Protection Well Reports*, or
Decommissioned Well Reports**.
*Resource Protection Well Reports include Soil Boring, Environmental, and Ground Source Heat Loop (Grounding) Well Reports.
**Decommissioned Well Reports include Abandonments.
You can search by the watershed boundary name. The dropdown box lists the watersheds alphabetically by the name of the WRIA. The term WRIA means watershed inventory area. A watershed or WRIA is a region that drains into a river or river system. If you select a watershed using the dropdown box on the Map Search Page, you will be navigated to that watershed and it will be highlighted in opaque yellow. Selecting a watershed using WRIA on the Text Search Page will allow you to both select well reports based on their WRIA and to further narrow your search by adding other criteria.
Well drillers file a notice of intent to construct a well called a start card. These are given a "Notice of Intent" (also called "Start Card") number. This field allows you to locate well reports using these reference numbers. There may be one or more well reports for each start card number. It is more often the case that more than one well report will be associated with a start card when it is for resource protection wells than when it is for water wells. The letter prefix on the NOI means the following:
W is for Water Well,
R is for Resource Well,
S is for Soil Boring Well,
D is for Dewatering Well,
A is for Decommissioned Well or Abandoned well,
E is for Environmental test sample where no casing is left in the ground, and
G is for ground source heat loop or grounding well.
The Ecology Well Report Database System automatically assigns a unique identifier to each new well report record as it is added to the database. This number carries no meaning at all. It is simply a unique identifier for the well report record used by the database system.
A word of caution: If the record and its image have been deleted then this unique identifier will no longer be present. Also if the record and image have been deleted and then added back as a new well report to correct some system problem (a rare event), the unique identifier will be deleted and a new (unique and different) one created in its place. This unique system number does NOT and should NOT appear on the well report image.
The Well Report ID number is listed as part of the record when a Results List is generated from a search. There is another number that is penciled in near the top of well report images scanned since March of 2001. This is NOT the well report ID. This penciled in number is called the NIT LOG ID and is not a searchable field.
Well Tag Ids are comprised of three letters followed by a 3-digit number (i.e. AAA123). Wells constructed or altered after June 1993 should have a metal tag affixed to the well head embossed with this number.
You can perform partial searches using an underscore as a placeholder. For example: searching for "AA_00_" will return all well tags that start with AAA to AAZ and the end with numbers 000 to 009. This useful when when the well tag affixed to the well head is difficult to read.
Pending: A Pending Notice of Intent is one that has been received by our electronic system and is awaiting payment.
Processed: A processed NOI is a Notice of Intent that has been paid and/or activated in Ecology’s records.
Rejected: A rejected Notice of Intent is one that is temporarily inactive, due primarily to lack of payment and can be reactivated and processed when payment is received.
