Introduced Text

Arizona HB2263 amends underground water storage regulations to allow groundwater savings facilities for Colorado River water replenishment.

Arizona HB2263 modifies the Arizona Revised Statutes to allow the operation of groundwater savings facilities for replenishing Colorado River water. The bill specifies criteria for issuing permits to operate these facilities, including the recipient's anticipated demand for water, legal rights to withdraw groundwater, and the historic amount of power used to pump groundwater. It also outlines conditions for using in lieu water, such as the water being a gallon-for-gallon substitute for groundwater and not being delivered before October 1, 1990.
