HB 2747 Summary

• Amends section 49-250 to clarify exemptions from aquifer protection permit requirements, including a revision to the class V well exemption that specifies wells operating under underground injection control rules are exempt from the aquifer protection article.

• Removes former subsection D from section 49-257.01 that exempted class V wells with aquifer protection permits, streamlining the regulatory framework by having class V wells covered solely under the underground injection control permit program established in article 3.3.

• Modifies section 49-324 to automatically stay contested permit provisions during underground injection control permit appeals before the water quality appeals board, while allowing severable and uncontested provisions to become effective after 30 days.
