authority over well permiting procedures for groundwater not
connected with any surface streams.

Continuing his discussion, Mr. Danielson referred to'the
Governor's letter of October 11, 1983 to members of the
State Senate and others in which he stated that the Bill
fails to address the need for comprehensive treatment of the
issues involved in allocating our nonrewable groundwater
resources. In his letter, the Governor asked Mr. David
Getches to initiate at once a study of possible alternative
approaches to the administration of groundwater and to
appoint a committee of water law experts to help the
department formulate recommendations that can be considered
by the legislature next year. At this point, Mr. Getches
reported that the Committee had been selected and will meet
on November 14, 1983 for initial discussions.

Mr. Jackson requested of Mr. Getches that notices of
committee meetings be sent to all Board members and that
copies of minutes of committee meetings be sent to all Board
members, and this subject should be an agenda item for
future Board meetings. .
