water storage facility; withdrawals; area

SB 1785 regulates how water stored under Arizona permits can be recovered via wells. It requires applicants to obtain a recovery well permit from the director before extracting stored water, with specific rules based on location: wells must be within the stored water's "area of impact" (determined by the director) or meet conditions like city district consent if outside that area. The bill also creates an emergency permit for conservation districts to quickly supply replacement water during Central Arizona Project failures. It directly affects water storage permit holders, cities, and water districts by defining where recovery wells can be located and requiring permits for all recovery activities.
