Ind. Code § 14-25-4-12

Restrictions on withdrawal of ground water

As added by P.L.1-1995, SEC.18.

Sec. 12. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), the director may restrict the quantity of ground water that may be extracted from a significant ground water withdrawal facility when the director declares a ground water emergency under section 9 or 10 of this chapter if:

(1) the:

(A) facility is reasonably believed to have caused the failure of the complainant's water well; and

(B) immediate temporary provision of an adequate supply of potable water required under sections 18(1) and 20(a) of this chapter is not carried out; or

(2) there is a reasonable belief that continued ground water withdrawals from the facility will exceed the recharge capability of the ground water resource of the area.

(b) If an operator of a significant ground water withdrawal facility withdraws water by a means other than pumping, the director may temporarily restrict the quantity of ground water that may be extracted only if the provisions of subsection (a)(1) have not been met.
