Rule 2 CCR 402-7-13 - Replacement Permits For Existing Wells Completed in Two or More Aquifers

In the event a replacement permit is sought for an existing well completed in two or more aquifers, then, unless the rules for a specific aquifer or aquifers provide otherwise, the State Engineer shall issue replacement permits requiring that each of the wells be completed in only one aquifer. Upon proper application, a replacement permit shall be issued for a well in each of the aquifers from which the existing well produced water.
