Statements of average daily use of ground water

Sec. 11. (a) All users of ground water in amounts exceeding one hundred thousand (100,000) gallons per day in an area designated by the department as a restricted use area shall file with the department a certified statement of the average daily amount of ground water used before the designation of the area as a restricted use area. The statement: (1) shall be filed within ninety (90) days after the adoption of an order by the department designating the area as a restricted use area; and (2) must be on a form furnished by the department upon request. (b) Failure to file a certified statement as required by subsection (a) invalidates a user's prior claim to the withdrawal and use of ground water exceeding one hundred thousand (100,000) gallons per day without having secured a permit from the department under this chapter.
