The Department of Natural Resources and Conservation adopted new rules and amended existing rules concerning water right permitting. The new rules, among other things, provide timelines for approval or denial of variance requests, and the amendments modify definitions, increase application fees, clarify requirements for aquifer testing, and provide clear steps for when an application can be modified.Ā See https://sosmt.gov/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?juwpfisadmin=false&action=wpfd&task=file.download&wpfd_category_id=84&wpfd_file_id=61483&token=44261d6af8a5ad4c875301137ae6628f&preview=1 (pp. 1872-87).
