Universal Citation: 457 NE Admin Rules and Regs ch 22 ยง 001

Current through September 17, 2024

All information shall be compiled and submitted in a loose-leaf binder with maximum dimensions of 11 inches by 11 inches by 4 inches. Maps, plans and drawings must be of a size sufficient to clearly depict the subject matter, but must be folded to dimensions not to exceed 11 inches by 11 inches. A complete table of contents shall be provided. The application shall consist of the following:

001.01 Completed application form (form must be provided by Department, see Appendix F).

001.02 A table of all existing and proposed production wells included under the application identifying (if applicable) well registration numbers; exact location by 40-acre subdivision, section, township and range; total depth; pumping capacity; and date each was completed.

001.03 A quantification of aquifer properties and how each was determined.

001.04 Assuming that combination of wells expected to create the greatest induced recharge, a tabulation showing computed drawdown and induced recharge and how it was determined.

001.05 A geologic log, to include an indication of static water level, for each production and test well.

001.06 For each production well, a log showing the size and vertical placement of each pump, all plain casing and screened sections and any artificial grave pack.

001.07 A table showing the times of the year and the expected rates (in gallons per minute or cubic feet per second) and volumes (expressed in acre-feet) when induced recharge is expected to occur.

001.08 A narration of the minimum flow necessary to sustain satisfactory operation of the well field facilities within that stream reach where induced recharge is intended and the period of time that well field facilities would continue to meet minimal essential needs of the public water supplier if there were no flow in the source of supply.

001.09 Scaled maps showing:

001.09A All production and test wells and the stream reach where induced recharge is intended.

001.09B A depiction of the aquifer piezometric surface under nonpumping conditions and for pumping conditions assuming that combination of wells expected to create the greatest induced recharge.

001.09C The areal extent and a cross-section of that portion of the aquifer analyzed for this application.

001.09D Location and identification of use of any wells not included in this application with a cone of depression that may intersect applicant's well field.

001.10 Applications for wells constructed on or after September 9, 1993, shall include information on public interest factors described in § 46-235(2)(a)(iii) R.R.S. 1943, as amended.

001.11 The following information may be submitted at the discretion of the applicant:

001.11A A statement indicating rate and volume of induced ground water recharge presently used and anticipated use for the next 25 years.

001.11B A statement indicating rate and volume of ground water use anticipated from well field during the next 25 years.
