SB1636 amends Arizona's groundwater code to allow the director to designate irrigation non-expansion areas. The director may designate such areas if there is insufficient groundwater to provide a reasonably safe supply for irrigation at projected withdrawal rates. The designation process includes a public hearing and requires a petition signed by irrigation users. The bill also outlines procedures for rehearing, review, and judicial review of the director's decisions.
