HB 2932: groundwater transportation fee; website; posting

Sponsor: Representative Biasiucci, LD 30

Committee on Natural Resources, Energy & Water

Overview

Requires the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) Director to annually post and update the table of fees for the price of groundwater transported on the ADWR's website.

History

The ADWR, through ADWR Director, administers and enforces Arizona’s groundwater and surface water law. Currently, the ADWR Director sets the fee using the table of fees in statute and updates the dollar amount of the fee according to the annual changes in the GDP price deflator.

The groundwater transportation fee is applied to a person who transports groundwater withdrawn in a groundwater basin as outlined in statute or the Pinal Active Management Area, away from the county the water was withdrawn from. The fee is per acre-foot of water withdrawn (A.R.S. § 45-556).

2.   Instructs the ADWR Director to annually update the table of fees with changes in the GDP price deflator and fee adjustments determined pursuant to existing statute. (Sec. 1)
