groundwater permits; technical correction
SB 1514 amends Arizona Revised Statutes § 45-516 to clarify that permits for non-irrigation users withdrawing poor quality groundwater must have durations based on the "estimated life of the source," rather than a fixed 35-year term. This technical correction applies to existing permits issued under this provision, affecting users who withdraw groundwater deemed unusable for other purposes. The bill does not change eligibility or new permit requirements but ensures permit terms align with the actual lifespan of the groundwater source. It is a procedural adjustment to existing law, not a policy change.
