If the current well has been located then all the nearby wells (if any) in
the MoE WELLS database are displayed on a 1:2,500 scale topo map. If the
current well location has not been defined then this option navigates to the
BCGS Map Interface main webpage.
Local Wells
Upload the location of your client's wells to the BCGS Map Interface. Once
the well data is uploaded, their locations are displayed over an area that
covers all the wells. Clicking on a well icon displays the well's Owner,
Address and GPS location. You also have the option of constraining all the
wells within a common BCGS mapsheet region. This option is not available if
some wells span the border of 2 BCGS regions, e.g. 092O, 093B. A complete
description is here.
Copy Lat/Lon To
Current Well
Clicking on a map at 1:5000 scale and larger copies the mouse's GPS location
into the 'BCGS To Lat/Lon' text box. Then clicking the 'Copy Lat/Lon to
Current Well' button, copies these coordinates into the current well
location. This includes the GPS, UTM, NTS, Accuracy and BCGS Mapsheet ID
data fields.
Submit To EWELLS
This opens the options menu for submiting well records to the 'Electronic
Well Report Submission Application (EWELLs)'. The menu allows you to visit
and logon to the BCeID
website services and auto-fill the data fields for the current well
record. This online service requires 5 Steps to submit a well record, which
are described here. Make sure that the current well
record is correct and complete before submitting it to EWELLS.

The following services are available from
the WellLog File menu options, 'Online Maps':
Show Current Well
This option launches the WellLog browser and if the current well record has
been located with GPS coordinates, its location is displayed on a map at
approximately 1:500 scale. Clicking on the well icon displays the client
name, site address and BCGS Mapsheet ID of the well. You can re-locate the
well by clicking anywhere on the map, then selecting the 'Copy Lat/Lon into
Current Well' button on the navigation toolbar. This action copies the new
well location onto the 'Data Entry Form' and converts the Geographic coordinates to UTM, NTS, BCGS Mapsheet ID and sets the Accuracy field.
Show All Local Wells
This option launches the WellLog browser and locates all the wells in your
database on a map by uploading the local well data to the online BCGS
Mapping Service. The well locations are written to an MS Access data file (.mdb),
and the user is prompted to Apply the upload. Once uploaded, the well
locations are displayed over an area that covers all the wells. Each well's
Owner, Address and GPS can be displayed by clicking on each well icon. The
user has the option of constraining all the wells within a common BCGS
Mapsheet region. This option is not available if some wells span the border
of 2 BCGS regions, e.g. 092O, 093B.
Show BC Wells
This option launches the WellLog browser and displays all wells within the
BC Groundwater Wells Database (WELLS) for a given BCGS map region. BC wells
are represented by icons which may be clicked on to display the Owner's
Name, Address and BCGS Mapsheet location for each well, including Tag
Numbers linked to full detailed well reports.
BCGS Map Interface
This option launches the WellLog browser and navigates to the
BCGS Map Interface webpage. This is a starting
point to search for BC Wells and Place Names or navigating to a map location
via the interactive zoom feature. When a BCGS map has been zoomed to 1:5000
scale or larger, the BC Wells can be displayed within the defined BCGS
region.
BCGS Help
This option launches the WellLog browser and navigates to the
BCGS Help documentation. This documentation
describes the Geographic System breakdown for BC and various mapping
features available through the BCGS Map Interface.
WellLog Home Page
This option launches the WellLog browser and navigates to the
WellLog Home Page. The WellLog Home Page provides
access to the BCGS Map Interface and general information regarding the
WellLog program and WellLog Support.
Submit Well Records to EWELLS

The Electronic Well Report Submission Application
(EWELLs) is a web based data entry tool, used by drilling companies,
groundwater consultants and Ministry of Environment (MoE) staff, for
the electronic submission of well construction, alteration, and
closure reports. EWELLs allows users to submit well information
through the internet, providing an efficient means to enter well
records into WELLs, the province's groundwater database.
The WellLog program allows completed well
records to be transferred to the BCeID service in 5 steps. Clicking
on the 'BCeID' button on the web browser opens a menu allowing the
user to logon and auto-submit well data for each step in the
process.

Logon
You must logon to the
BCeID service before you can submit well records. You can apply for a
User Name and Password for this service by selecting the 'Logon' menu item,
which will take you to the Logon Page. A link on the Logon Page will direct
you to the Account Application Page. Once you have an account, the WellLog
program will remember your User Name and Password for logging onto the
service. Once you are logged on, your logon history is displayed and you
must proceed to the Home Page to begin submitting well data as per Step 1.
Step 1
Basic Information (e.g. type of work and owner information) is found on Step
1. The mandatory fields, denoted by a red *
include: type of work, owner's last name, mailing address, and city. These
fields are required to advance to Step 2. Clicking on the 'Autofill Step 1'
menu item fills the Step 1 fields with data for the current well. After the
fields are filled and reviewed, you must click on the 'Next' button to
proceed to Step 2.
Step 2
Well Location and Geographic Coordinates Information are found in Step 2.
The property and well location information are required to locate the well
on the ground so the well can be geo-referenced. The Well Location and
Geographic Coordinates sections are mandatory, however, the well location
can be given as UTM or Latitude/Longitude coordinates. Only one geographic
coordinate format is required to advance to Step 3. Clicking on the 'Autofill
Step 2' menu item fills the Step 2 fields with data for the current well.
After the fields are filled and reviewed, you must click on the 'Next'
button to proceed to Step 3.
Step 3
Well Details and Lithologic or Closure Description Details sections are
found in Step 3. Well Details contain mandatory fields, denoted by a red
asterisk (*). These fields are required to
advance to Step 4. Clicking on the 'Autofill Step 3' menu item fills the
Step 3 fields with data for the current well and proceeds to Step 3a to
auto-fill the lithology records. After the fields are filled and reviewed,
you must click on the 'Next' button to proceed to Step 4.
Step 3a
Step 3a is for submitting the lithology records in batch. Pressing the 'Autofill
Step 3a' menu item autofills the lithology records for the current well,
then submits them and returns to the Step 3 page. Only 12 lithology records
at a time can be submitted on Step 3a. If more than 12 lithology records
exist for the current well record, you must click on the 'Autofill Step 3'
menu item again and repeat the process until all lithology records are
submitted.
Step 4
Casing and Screen Assembly Details sections are found in Step 4. Casing,
surface seal, backfill, liner, screen and filter pack details are located in
this section. There are no mandatory fields. Clicking on the 'Autofill Step
4' menu item fills the Step 4 fields with data for the current well. After
the fields are filled and reviewed, you must click on the 'Next' button to
proceed to Step 5.
Step 5
Well development, obvious water quality characteristics, final well
completion data, well closure, and well driller information are found in
Step 5. Date of Work (start and end dates) and Well Driller are mandatory
fields, denoted by a red asterisk (*). These
fields are required to advance to the Verify Step. Clicking on the 'Autofill
Step 5' menu item fills the Step 5 fields with data for the current well.
After the fields are filled and reviewed, you must click on the 'Next'
button to proceed to the Verify Page.
Close
This option closes the BCeID menu. It does not log off the well submission
service. You must do this manually to discontinue the service.
Clear
This option clears the data fields for the current Step page. Any Lithology
records that have been defined (Step 3a) must be cleared manually.
