Method: medians computed from Delaware DNREC records (Delaware DNREC non-public well permits, water-supply wells only (monitoring, observation, soil borings, dewatering and remediation wells and un-drilled permits excluded); depths 0-5,000 ft). Cost estimate applies published per-foot ranges (checked 2026-06-11) to the local median depth — full methodology & sources.
