However, prior to obtaining a permit, <br />an approved water supply plan or decreed plan for augmentation is required. <br />^ Prior to approving a well permit, the applicant must conduct a field inspection of the site and <br />document the locations of all wells within 600 feet of the permit area. The applicant must <br />then obtain a waiver of objection from all well owners with wells within 600 feet of the permit <br />area or request a hearing before the State Engineer. <br />^ Other: <br />COMMENTS/NOTES: The groundwater in this area is under the authority of the Ground Water <br />Commission, since the land is located in a Designated Groundwater Basin. <br />
