Universal Citation: SC Code Regs 61-113.O
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024
Wells that are flowing by releasing groundwater under such pressure that pumping is not necessary to bring it above the ground surface at a rate of greater than five thousand gallons a day at any time are an unreasonable use of groundwater constituting waste and are prohibited, except that the water from these wells may be utilized to the extent actually necessary for a specific use. These wells must be fitted with a mechanism to restrict the flow of water if the flow is in excess of that necessary for the specific use. The Department may promulgate additional regulations to govern use of these wells in this State.
