Draft North & East Metro Groundwater Management Area Plan 3-9 <br /> Objective V. All groundwater users in the GWMA have the necessary permits <br /> to use groundwater. <br /> Objectives I, II, III and IV (above) can only be tracked and achieved with an effective permitting system. <br /> Permits provide key data on groundwater use and the means to limit use if necessary to meet <br /> sustainability objectives.To be in compliance with current state requirements, individuals and <br /> organizations must, at a minimum, do the following if requesting 10,000 gallons of water per day or one <br /> million gallons of water per year: <br /> • Obtain a water appropriation permit <br /> • Pay annual fees <br /> • Report annual water use according to permit conditions <br /> Permit holders must also comply with special conditions placed on their permits that are designed to <br /> ensure sustainability and/or monitor resource conditions. Some permits may include special conditions <br /> such as groundwater-level monitoring from wells specifically constructed for that purpose. <br /> Objective V is meant to emphasize the importance of permitting and permit compliance to meet the <br /> sustainability goals of the North & East Metro GWMA. Section 5 of the GWMA Plan provides a set of <br /> actions to meet Objective V. <br /> P58 <br />
