2 CCR 402-4 - RULES FOR SMALL CAPACITY WELL PERMITS IN DESIGNATED GROUND WATER BASINS
4 - Previously Issued Permits - Permit Validation - Evidence of Beneficial Use
A small capacity well permit issued prior to the effective date of these rules shall be considered valid provided the well is constructed timely and a well construction and test report is filed with the State Engineer in accordance with the Water Well Construction Rules (2 CCR 402-2). The requirement of evidence of beneficial use, if it was required under a previous rule, shall be considered waived. If a permit condition refers to a potential limitation on allowed annual acre-feet due to a requirement of evidence of beneficial use under a previous rule, that limitation shall also be considered waived. If evidence of beneficial use is filed with the State Engineer it shall not, in any way, alter the terms of the permit.
