107 <br />MINNESOTA RULES 6115.0750 <br />unavailable, where probable conflict or well interference problems may occur and where such wells <br />are required by law. <br />Subp. 4. Reporting. Annual calendar year monthly records of the amount of water appropriated <br />or used and the water level measurements shall be recorded for each installation. Such readings <br />and the total amount of water appropriated and used shall be reported annually to the commissioner, <br />on or before February 15 of the following year upon forms to be supplied by the commissioner <br />unless otherwise specified in the permit. <br />Such records shall be submitted with an annual water appropriation processing fee as required <br />by Minnesota Statutes, sections 103G.271, subdivision 6, and 103G.281, subdivision 3, for each <br />permit whether or not any water was appropriated during the year. <br />Additional information shall be required such as acreage irrigated, identification of water <br />disposal sites, and amount of water discharged, when necessary for the statewide water information <br />system (Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.275, subdivision 2). <br />Failure to report and pay the fee shall be sufficient cause for terminating a permit 30 days <br />following written notice by the commissioner of the violation of the permit. <br />No fee is required from any state agency as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.01, <br />subdivision 2, or any federal agency. <br />Subp. 5. Amendments to permits. Amendments to permits: <br />A. Major modification of any water appropriation permit shall not be made before obtaining <br />the written permission from the commissioner. Major modification includes changes such as <br />substantial increase or decrease in the rate and quantity of water withdrawn, any change in source <br />of appropriation or substantial change in the amount of land irrigated, when applicable. <br />Request for amendment can be made by letter or on forms supplied by the commissioner. New <br />applications shall be required when there are changes in the source of supply, the purpose of <br />appropriation, or when the proposed increases in rates and amounts of water would probably create <br />conflict or well interference. <br />Requests for amendments shall be reviewed as if they were for a new application, subject to <br />provisions of parts 6115.0600 to 6115.0800. <br />B. Pursuant to authority in Minnesota Statutes, section 103 G.315, subdivision 11, the <br />commissioner may modify or amend any existing permits based on the following procedures and <br />the criteria in parts 6115.0670 to 6115.0720, where applicable. <br />The commissioner shall notify the permittee of the intent to amend the permit. The notice will <br />include details on modifications to be implemented by the permittee and the timing to complete <br />the modifications. <br />The permittee shall respond within 30 days from receipt of the notice. Such response period <br />shall be thereafter extended by the commissioner for good cause shown. <br />Copyright © 2019 by the Revisor of Statutes, State of Minnesota. All Rights Reserved. <br />
