Section 13-184-3 - Subzone objectives The establishment and regulation of geothermal resource subzones is intended to facilitate geothermal development activities in those areas of the State where such activities will serve, in overall perspective, the best interest of the State, premised upon the criteria set forth in section 13-184-6. The major objectives are:
(1) To allow geothermal development activities to help achieve the State's goal of energy self-sufficiency and broaden the State's economic base through development of a natural resource;(2) To allow geothermal development activities in areas where such activities would be of greater benefit to the State than the existing or future use of such areas; and(3) To allow geothermal development activities in areas of the State which best demonstrate an acceptable balance among the criteria set forth in § 13-184-6.[Eff.
