What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires a person to obtain approval from the Department of

Natural Resources (DNR) before constructing or operating a high capacity well,

which is a well that, together with all other wells on the same property, has the

capacity to withdraw more than 100,000 gallons of water per day.

This bill provides that no additional approval is needed for the owner of an

approved high capacity well to repair or maintain the well; to construct a

replacement high capacity well of substantially the same depth within a 75-foot

radius of the existing high capacity well; to reconstruct the existing high capacity

well; or to transfer the approval at the same time as the owner transfers the land on

which the approved high capacity well is located. No additional fee is required for

any of these actions, but the owner of the existing approved high capacity well must

notify DNR of any replacement, reconstruction, or transfer. The owner may not take

any of these actions if they would be inconsistent with the standards or conditions

of the existing high capacity well approval, and the standards and conditions of the

approval continue to apply after any of these actions are taken.
