Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 38, § 3098.5. Driller to keep records and file reports

The driller shall keep accurate records on each water well drilled, including but not limited to its location, depth, character of rocks or formations drilled, fluids encountered, and such other reasonable information as the office may specify. Each driller shall, within thirty days after completion of each well, file a report containing such information in the office on forms provided by the office. A copy of this information shall be provided to the Louisiana Geological Survey by the office. However, no report or information shall be required to be filed with the office if the well is a driven well or if it is dug by the use of a hand auger.
