§ 103I.325 — Landowner Sealed Well and Boring Liability

Plain-Language Summary

This section limits a landowner's liability for a well or boring that has been properly sealed according to state rules. Once a well is properly sealed, the landowner is generally not liable for future groundwater contamination from that sealed well.

Practical Notes
If you seal a well properly according to state rules, you gain protection from future liability related to that sealed well. This gives landowners an incentive to properly seal unused wells rather than leaving them open.
