Department Permit Coordination -- Requirements For Aquifer Recharge Or Mitigation Plans

To ensure that the department and the department of environmental quality are coordinating their respective permitting activities: (1) an applicant for a new appropriation right pursuant to 85-2-360 that involves aquifer recharge or mitigation shall provide the department with a copy of a relevant discharge permit if necessary; and (2) the department may not grant a new appropriation right pursuant to 85-2-360 that involves aquifer recharge or mitigation until the discharge permit, if necessary, has been obtained and presented to the department.
