Senate Bill 1530 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes § 45-834.01 to modify rules for recovering water stored in groundwater storage facilities within active management areas.

• Establishes presumption that a recovery well is located within the area of impact of stored water if the well is either on land permitted as a groundwater savings facility or within one mile of a constructed underground storage facility basin or drainage channel within a managed underground storage facility.

• Clarifies that recovery wells do not require separate hydrologic studies to establish area of impact location when meeting the one-mile proximity threshold.

• Makes conforming changes to terminology, replacing "sub-basin" with "subbasin" throughout the statute.
