(2) A person who constructs a well must, as soon as practicable after completion of that construction, inform the Minister in writing in an approved form of the level of the water, if any, in the well and provide the Minister with such particulars relating to the well and water, cuttings and other materials obtained during the construction of the well as the Minister may require.
