Except as may be otherwise determined by the commission to be in the public interest, withdrawals from the underground waters of the basin shall be limited to the maximum draft of all withdrawals from a ground water basin, aquifer, or aquifer system that can be sustained without rendering supplies unreliable, causing long-term progressive lowering of ground water levels, water quality degradation, permanent loss of storage capacity, or substantial impact on low flows of perennial streams. In confined coastal plain aquifers, the commission shall consider and apply aquifer management levels, if any, established by a signatory state in determining compliance with criteria relating to "long-term progressive lowering of ground water levels."
