(c)A regular permit shall allocate to the applicant his proportionate part of the maximum annual yield of the basin or subbasin. [82:1020.9]

(d)His proportionate part shall be that percentage of the total annual yield of the basin or subbasin previously determined to be the maximum annual yield...which is equal to the percentage of the land overlying the fresh groundwater basin or subbasin which he owns or leases. [82:1020.9]

(e)The permit shall specify the location of the permitted well or wells. [82:1020.9]

(f)A regular permit shall not be granted for less than the remaining life of the basin or subbasin as previously determined by the Board.[82:1020.9]

[82:1020.9]

(1) If the existing or proposed well(s) are completed in both groundwater basins or subbasins, so that the well(s) are capable of taking water from both basins or subbasins, the amount to be authorized by the regular permit shall be calculated on the basin or subbasin having the greatest maximum annual yield.

(2) If the existing or proposed well(s) are completed in only one of the groundwater basins or subbasins, the amount of water authorized by the regular permit shall be calculated on the maximum annual yield for that basin or subbasin.

(h) If the lands dedicated to the application overlie two or more groundwater basins which overlie each other and the maximum annual yield has been determined for at least one but not all the basins or subbasins, a regular permit shall be issued. See also 785:30-5-2(b)(4).
