Groundwater Exploration and Extraction Permits

A Groundwater Exploration Permit is required for all high-capacity wells (supplying more than 50 imperial gallons per minute), and all wells to be used for a central water supply system. The permit application (to be completed by the proponent) identifies the:

proposed location,
expected pumping rate,
pumping schedule, and
other groundwater users in the area.

Departmental staff review the application. If the groundwater extraction is not expected to have a significant impact on other groundwater users or the environment, a Groundwater Exploration Permit will be issued. Testing requirements, which must be carried out by the proponent, will be identified.

When test information reveals that the extraction of addiitonal water will not have a significant impact on other groundwater users or the environment, a Water Extraction Permit will be issued.
